How Low Can You Go?

With $250 netbooks and $200 OLPC notebooks, schools can save a bundle of cash but if Kapil Sibal, India’s Human Resource Development Minister has his way that price tag could get a lot smaller.

He said that the device could end up being even cheaper as volume production starts.
