$10 Laptop Downgraded By Reality; Now Fancy Storage Device

Posted by timothy on Wednesday February 4, 2009 @09:19AM from the not-that-there's-anything-wrong-with-that dept.

Ian Lamont writes "The news last week that the Indian government was working on a $10 laptop was too good to be true. It turns out that the project is actually a wireless-enabled storage device, not a laptop." Update: 02/04 21:36 GMT by T : Always-illuminating Liliputing has a short article with a picture of the device.

As for the cost... well then... that *is* pretty expensive for an SD card with an RF chip...
