In our previous posts, we’ve seen the minimum functionalities of the low-cost-computing device (they are still contemplating as to what to name the product). Now, what we’ve got here are just the guidelines that manufactures have to work with in order to keep the price low… and sales high. We still haven’t heard a peep about the actual specs of this $35, Rs. 1,600 miracle priced computing solution.
Suitable motherboard/system on chip to provide the mentioned expected functionalities. QWERTY keyboard, a mouse and, a minimum display size of 7-inch color LCD/TFT (the touch interface is optional). Also, an all-in-one projection system is optional. Minimum 2 USB (2.0) ports and USB hosts RF, Certification – all “CE Certificate” (according to FCC guidelines) Minimum three hours battery life Battery charger with adapter or a hybrid super capacitor quick charger SD card slot with support for minimum 8 GB RGB / HDMI display options to enable connectivity with a projector Support for an external hard drive (minimum 32 GB) Ethernet port WLAN card (Wi-Fi a/b/g/n) Alternate battery support: Via solar cell / Hybrid capacitor Webcam Adequate RAM and hard drive / NAND flash Shock resistant casing of suitable form factor for the device Operating temperature: Zero to 48 degrees. Max humidity – 80% ROHS compliant Operating system: Linux Seeing as this device is designed for the education sector and we’re all for the betterment of our outdated education system, I still don’t see how anyone could make even a base model with minimum functionalities at such a ludicrously low price. Sure we have cheap touchscreen mobile phones that can do quite a lot but the cheapest model is still in Rs. 4000 range.
