The Indian government has unveiled the prototype of an iPad-like touch-screen laptop, with a price tag of $35 (£23), which it hopes to roll out next year.
This tablet is mainly aimed for the students. It supports web browsing, video conferencing and word processing.
It was developed by India's top Indian Institute of Technology(IIT) and Indian Institute of Science(IIS) colleges.
The device has no hard-disk, uses a memory card and works on solar energy.
The device was built by India as an answer to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's(MIT) 100$ tablet PC.
The HRD minister said,"The solutions for tomorrow will emerge from India.”

I truly believe with this statement. India has a lot of potential. It's education sector by far could be considered as a very dynamic and prosperous one. If proper steps are taken to keep the brightest minds in India, the solutions for tomorrow would probably emerge from India itself. India, with this high competency and brilliant citizens can truly reach the horizons........
