Ditto, I'll take 3. :P Okay, maybe just one. $20 is a no brainer purchase
considering it has gotten good reviews so far.
The article mentions that they would like to sell this in the us market for
about $50, which is a steal. Get enough public awareness, and this will outsell
the ipad and surface and anything else.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The retail price on this is said to be $70, in the
article... However Ematic, Polaroid, and Coby tablets are
already sub $70.
Allwinner developed a wholesale $7 1.2 Ghz ARM 8 SOC with a
Mali 400 GPU which includes HDMI called the Allwinner A10...
And an even cheaper version in the A13 (No HDMI or SATA)...
The Allwiner SOC is powering most of these cheap tablets.
More impressive than the tablets are Allwinner based
USB/HDMI Dongle computers and netbooks running Android. 10
inch netbooks for sub $150 (7 inch ones for under $70) and
USB/HDMI stick computers that plug into your TV for about
$70.

They plan to retail the commercial version for $70, at least
that is what the article says. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

That page returns pure white for me, until I turn off javascript.
Then the site warns me it might not render correctly, but it does.
Go figure...

I want one too just to see what it is.
Unfortunately the $20 price is
to students in India, subsidized by the government some by unspecified amount.
Apparently they're selling them at retail for $70, which is still
interesting. If I can get one for $70 I definitely will.
At $20 each
to students I wouldn't mind subsidizing an entire classroom's students their
$20 cost. What could that amount to, $500? If that's the whole cost
and it comes with a portable K-12 education I think I could do that several
times a year. I wouldn't mind doing that knowing I had provided 25 students the
means to escape poverty, improve their lives, provide for themselves and their
families.
I think there are probably several people who feel this way. Maybe
some sort of Kickstarter or public campaign is in order to get this ramping to
where it really should be. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
