In today's new world economic order, China's supposed to be the one providing us with cheap products, and India's supposed to be the guy we call when said cheap products break down. Now, though, the mighty subcontinent has decided to throw its hat into the low-cost manufacturing ring with the release of a new $35 tablet.

According to Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal, the cost-friendly reader will come equipped with 2GB of RAM, run Linux, and will be able to open both PDFs and YouTube videos.

GRRRRRR It's just a prototype. Plans to go commercial in 2011.... and no manufacturer name disclosed... This could be another one of those empty promises like the $10 laptop...
