35$ computer for education use in India

I was interested to pickup some information about a project based in India to produce a hand held device for use in education click here to read an early announcement about the project.

Here is the latest announcement about the project which provides some details about the prototype which has been produced  click here

Seems to me that with all the current development in desktop virtulization that a device like this could well make feasible the concept of one computer per child a reality.  The original OLPC device came in at arond $100 but this one seems to be abut one third of the price.
