Right. So you're saying that from their perspective even this kind of tablet is a big deal for them. I can understand that. The good news is that the hardware price for these kind of devices is dropping fast (at least by 30% per year), so in 2-3 years they should be getting pretty decent tablet for that price. If you look at what $500-$1000 PC's and the Internet have done for the more advanced countries, these very affordable tablets should do the same for the whole of India and other Asian or African countries.

I totally agree. Moore's Law equivalents mean that this technology is becoming more affordable very quickly.
