Android is Linux.
3-hour battery life isn’t much better than most laptops.
Good news & interesting. Thanks for posting.
I'm sure Google would bristle if they said Android was Linux since they wrote it. I know it's sorta like saying Xandros is Linux. The Xandros people would beg to differ as they send you a bill for THEIR software. Most Wall Street guys are flabbergasted that Google doesn't make money on Android.
at $50 without subsidy it is still fantastic (i could use one perhaps 2 or 3)
it proves existing tablets are overpriced.
The tablets are an endeavor by the Indian Government to reach out to the farmers as a means of communication to advise them about crops and similar kind of work. It is NOT meant to compete on the market with other tablets for normal functionality. I guess, the most important function would be video streaming to show tutorial videos on how to handle crop and inject them with pesticides and such and may be stream other lectures.
Thanks MBT ARJUN
