@typicallyrussian it happens because in most of the world there is profit driven market but in India it is consumer driven market. For eg take apple they can put up 100$ margin and sell 1product and go home happily but in India companies put jus 1$ margin and sell them to 100 people and go home with 100$. It is some thing like that!

@yasirjahangir1 oh please! you did ot even give it a go.. You should appreciate this low-price innovation. Criticizing won't help your inferiority complex
p.s. I'm a Pakistani and I would love if they introduce it into our market as well!!
@OBSysteme Well Linux is as not forgiving as windows when it comes to troubleshooting... puts off a lot of newbies... but with 2gb of ram n windows 7 there is not much u need. Libre Office, Opera, Foobar 2000, Media Player Classic, Paint Net (think that is what it is called) u got most of the stuff FOC... :/
To all who want to hate this sorry this is the reality.ok just stick to your expensive gadgets and have one only while we will have this cheap but we will own 10:-)Hahaha!USA will be like libya someday.its starting now!go and make rally on street cowboys!heyaah!
1ST i saw cheapest car NANO and now cheapest ANDROID ,even i know about this android when i saw it on TV,,,,,these guys make things which is affordable by everyone with best technology,i don't know how it is possible.Either they are genius or very generous who don't care about PROFITS.
@Ashish14101984 Actually they care about quality other wise people would have said Made in India a cheaper brand instead of Made in China. Great Work done, best of luck
Its disgusting..!! Its a no purpose gadget..!!!What student will want to work on this...Where did his laptop go..??? Its build quality is also going to shatter on shock guarantee..
Its like the nano car this....Achievement YES cheap YES, usability NO dignified HELL NO useful NO processing NO....and this will be slow as shit I promise..!! It cant be called as a tablet

@milind006 That's Why the new power of the world is not military power. is Mass production.. Haha.. All the big corporation will one day bow to INDIA and CHINA!
I agree even the User Interface looks exactly like Chinese clones. I guess they know where to download the firmware and tweak it a bit. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the parts came from either China or Taiwan especially the processor, microcontrollers and LCD screen.
This is Chinese made Hivision SpeedPad, google it on youtube CeBit 2010. OMG Only Indian govt dare to take others product and say it's their R&D effort, but I'm used to it. Berry Good at Dalk Only!!!
HELL YEAH! I will buy one for each member of my family. At 35USD I can buy a dozen. If I drop one and broke, no problem I have more in the cabinet, something I cannot do or afford for an Apple iPad, buy one and it'll break your wallet, drop one on the floor, kiss it bye bye, gone, buy another one. This indian version I will get in line and get a dozen for under $400 for myself family and giveaways to school children. Go India!
Most asian countries have various schemes to get cheap computers to students. In malaysia we had many cheap schemes to get PCs to students but in the end most ppl didnt go for them cuz it just put money in the corrupt politicians' hands that lobbied the schemes.
So anyone who cant afford to buy a new PC went n got 2nd hand PCs. N now the gov is forced to provided all new equipment straight to schools FOC.
@M4C109 U should start a committee of DIY people to go out on the road with a thumper n some tar/gravel n fill the holes urself. Then when RTM comes who u think cannot show their faces anymore? In the US one guy goes all over the city in his spare time to fill up the pot holes since the city couldn't afford to do it.
@ig33ku Hey! Great idea! I've got some friends with me who have nothing better to do anyway, so I Guess I could. N Dont get so defensive. Its just a comment, n i just thought that since i usually fork up my cash during tax, something would be done. But i guess it's starting to improve. Well around my area it is, I'm around the Shah Alam Area.
@M4C109 U need the thumper to pack the gravel n tar tight otherwise a tire slipping on it will dig it up. U can use a manual thumper (a big heavy bar with a flat head that u raise n drop several times).
@ig33ku Some of the roads r getting fixed up. I've managed to fix up only one road since i read ur reply (im replying late.) Im tryin to get my pal in the construction business to pass some more road gravel (apparantly, u need a special kind of gravel. u should do it too. Its pretty easy (But only around neighbourhood areas) N btw, u dont need a thumper. just some shovels. and a wheelbarrow (etc etc...) but ive gotta avid the cops coz this is illegal. Luckily i payed my "fees" n got away.
It's great that this company has chosen to help out students by giving them a discount! This kind of campaign is sure to pay off in the long run because these students will be able to learn and accomplish much more with these computer tablets helping them out.
wow this is serious business, now india has a huge jump on the rest of the world. they already had great education, now every single person will have a computer. i live in california and i got my 1st computer about a year and a half ago and im 23. wow wish i could get one of these too. :''( lol good for india though.
$35 is just an amazing price for this thing! I'm sure it's worth every penny. I mean, it will be really useful as many people In India come from a middle class family and technology like this would help them study better at schools :)
Guys on to Adam from NotionInk's needs to work faster because I believe Adam would be better in many ways. The screen most of all, battery and on top of everything is its design and navigation setup. I am so ready to buy Adam as soon as it hits the daylight.
But this one ain't bad either, looking promissing setup.
I've used this one while I was working as DEO for a Gov. survey... It works like s*&t... Literally.... But its good enough for 500Rs tablet...
