While everyone was in a tizzy about Amazon's $199
Kindle Fire price point,
the Indian
government was busily working to help bring out the $35 Aakash Android
tablet. The tablet was developed with similarly good intentions as
OLPC's XO
laptop before it - an attempt to get low-cost computing devices into the hands of students. One of the tablets landed in the
VentureBeat
offices this week. The site spent some hands-on time with the Froyo
slate, and mostly liked what it saw, noting that seeming compromises
made for price and a speedy release date ultimately benefit the whole of
the device. The tablet will start hitting India next month, at the $35
government-subsidized pricepoint (actual
retail price is a still mega-cheap $60).
