In the past, you have possibly
spotted a number of cheap tablet PC deals on the internet. Do you still recall
the $99 TouchPad firesale? Well, let me introduce you to an Android tablet that
is surprisingly cheap. For only $44 (yes you heard it right!), you can now own
a tablet!
Let me take you to India, a nation
where hi-tech gizmos are becoming ever so popular, despite the fact that many
of them have no or little experience of using them. That is precisely the
challenge that the Indian Ministry of Education is hoping to deal with. The
plan is to present the Android tablets to rural schools that have minimal
access to advanced technologies.
The Indian government will be buying 100,000 Aakash Android tablets
at a price of $44 each. It will then be sold to schools at a lower price tag of
$22.
