India's 26-euro tablet PC
India is challenging the American cultural brand with a mini-computer for 26 euros. However, there is still no manufacturer to produce the device, which looks similar to Apple.
The tablet PC was developed at Indian universities on behalf of the government. Now the small, portable computer is to be produced in millions of units, but a manufacturer is still missing. However, several manufacturers from China and Taiwan have already expressed great interest, according to Handelsblatt from the Ministry of Education.
So far, experts at market researcher Gartner have given the iPad a two-year head start. This is because competitors would not be able to quickly put together Apple's package of apps, intuitive user guidance, design and touch-sensitive screen. However, India does not want to wait that long with its version. The plan is to launch the low-cost iPad version in the spring.
