India's $10 Notebook... was too good to be true
 

The much-discussed “$10 notebook” does not appear to be a not appear to be a notebook at all: the Sakshat is a device that can store information and access the Internet using various means, but it does not have a screen or keyboard, thus, requires a normal personal computer to work.

The Sakshat device contains 2GB of storage as well as wired and wireless networks controllers to access the Internet. The product can access special web-site with education-oriented material. The device is 10” in length and 5” in width. Currently the device costs from $20 to $30 to make, a rather high price for a 2GB of flash memory card with network controllers, but its creators claim that once it is mass produced, the cost will drop to around $10.
