India To Unveil Inexpensive Laptop Prototype

from National Public Radio

The Indian government on Tuesday is expected to introduce a computer laptop prototype that runs on low power, has wireless Internet and costs $20 to manufacture. One goal is to bring computers to the developing world. The price is lower than the much-publicized project of One Laptop Per Child, a U.S.-based organization that aims to get $100 laptops in the hands of poor students around the globe.
