While the prototype device looks like an iPad, it's just a fourteenth of the cost.

The basic touch-screen tablet could be in production by 2011.

The tablet can be used for word processing, web browsing and videoconferencing. It has a solar power option too – important for India's energy-starved hinterlands – though that add-on costs extra.

Now don't get me started on that.
