FastCompany had an article on it, which said that it is almost definitely vaporware, and they're doing it to convince people India has good tech. My guess is that if this is the case, it's to compensate for the horrible reputation their software and tech support outsourcing are getting. http://www.fastcompany.com/1673553/cheap-computing-india-tablet-ipad-killer-olpc The short of it is that it's not physically possible to even buy all the components for anywhere near that money, let alone design, assemble, and market such a device They used the cost breakdowns from similar devices, then assumed a super cheap crappy screen and smaller battery.
