India's new PC dubbed 'world's cheapest
Yep,
But then you also need to count the H1B's they use here in the good old USA. Yep. A claim...
BTW, an article about diskless workstations from China also claimed the $200 price point so this is not even news but simply a marketing release. False marketing at that!
$188 gets you a barebones 1.4G. I like to price check at sites on this group before. I need to find something like pricewatch but for multimeters and the like.
$134 gets a whole PC. Athlon 2200 listed below!
$68 plus 1 gets you an Athlon 3200. (plus shipping of course). Barebones is about what they are selling I think. No disk etc.
I suspect the cell phone is sorta like a PC with no capabilities. Or a PDA. They have their uses but fact is the net needs to be alot faster. Probably years before diskless workstations grow out from the large enterprise.
