Indian made Simputer debuts - a computer made for the poor

What a waste of time, money, and effort. If they had just asked we could've GIVEN them the hundreds of thousands of outdated computers that are sitting around in this country.

Which explains why they're such poor computers. Of course that means Compaq and HP computers are downright destitute.

Heh. My thoughts as well.

I don't understand the point of this thing.

Ditto.

edit: Apparently, a 10GB Ipod is 480 US dollars at the Apple (India) Store, so maybe that handheld does have a decent price. Unless I did something wrong converting the currency.

You re right....
10gb Ipod = 470$...

Geez... For $240, you would think that they would at least throw in a decent keyboard. I'd rather buy a used PC for that kind of money.
