India's "$10 Laptop" To Cost $100 After All

Posted by timothy on from the ain't-it-the-way-of-things dept.

narramissic writes "In case you missed it, India's Minister of State for Higher Education yesterday announced the development of a $10 laptop that will target higher education applications. There were no specifications given for the laptop and the rock-bottom price raised questions about government subsidies. Today, the figure was corrected: It's not a $10 laptop; it's a $100 laptop. Still no specs though."

    Typical curry munching behaviour.

    They just inflate the price after everybody's agreed on it.
