World's cheapest PC ?
Bangalore-based Encore and Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) join hands to create a computer that costs Rs 10,000 (USD 232/- ) to Rs 20,000. Will this be the world's most successful cheap PC?
Some features of this computer
*Built-in local language - would be available initially in Kannada, Marathi and Hindi. Soon Telugu and Tamil would be added to that list.
*There is no hard disk. Instead it would thrive on in-built memory. There is always an option to plug in what is called memory cards to add on to the storage prowess.
* You can't play games or do high-speed computing (These are not the target users)
* The target group includes households, small shops, lawyers and chartered accountants, field staff or pharma , insurance and related firms. It could also be a nurse's aide and can be used as an e-book by small educational institutions.
