Negroponte Offers OLPC Technology For India's $35 Tablet

angry tapir writes "One Laptop Per Child wants to join forces to help develop the Indian government's planned $35 tablet. In a congratulatory note to the government, OLPC Chairman Nicholas Negroponte said the world needs the $35 tablet, and he offered the country full access to OLPC hardware and software technology."

Oh well

[Vahokif]

I guess it'll be the India's $200 tablet now.

Wat?

[tom1974]

I'm sure he means Intel hardware and MS software technologies.

Encryption

Lets just hope this laptop only has support for yesteryear's encryption such as ROT-13 lest the Indian government causes a fuss about not being able to spy on OLPC user's traffic and outlaws its like they did with satellite phones.

It's like blaming Obama for the iPhone's antenna...

I'm actually surprised the ignorant Tea Party puppets haven't done that yet. Oh Look! There's Russia, right over there!

OK, so now it's a $450 tablet...
