After having an exciting news of $10 laptops shaping up in India, last month we had an embarrassing disclosure of a device that was anything but a laptop. For Rs. 500 you would have got a 2GB of storage memory, WiFi connectivity, Ethernet port(s) and USB connectivity and without a screen. It was a sophisticated pen drive of some sort which no body was interested to buy. Anyway, now it seems Indian Govt. has finally realized that its not possible to make a laptop at that cost and chose to embrace OLPC instead. Though the lack of foresight is quite evident as It was MHRD of India that banished the thoughts of OLPC. Being an Indian I can not but think of being ridiculed by the whole world of a failed project, a complete sense of misjudgment and then going back to the point zero again. The good thing? OLPC, the wonderful effort will get a big financial boost as well as recognition which they need at this time.
