“By now you probably have heard about the “pad” computer
designed in India that is being touted as costing thirty-five U.S.
Dollars to manufacture. While there is very little in the way of
technical details about it, some information has been published

* An ARM9 Architecture Processor from Freescale (I.MX233): 5
USD
* Memory: 3 USD
* WiFi b/g: 4 USD
* Other “discrete” components: 3 USD
* Battery: 5 USD
* 7″ 800×480 resistive touch screen: 15 USD
