Indian $35 iPad-esque prototype

The Indian government has unveiled a $35 touchscreen tablet that can handle web browsing, video conferencing word processing.
The BBC reports that the country's Human Resource Development Minister is currently seeking a manufacturing partner for the device, which it hopes to launch next year.
Students are the target market for the device, which will run on the Linux OS and was inspired partly by the '$110 laptops' devised by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
