This is a couple months old, and part of a long line of stories of "low-cost laptops" coming out of India that haven't been exactly as advertised.

Previous versions have been rumored to sell for $10 or $20, though the price could only realistically be reached through government subsidies. There have been prototypes supposedly developed, though details on specs have been sketchy at best.

For me, I'll believe this when I see it.
