where do u buy it
@2ruthfox82 Atleast, the Government decided to reduce the price.
@2ruthfox82 Verizon can’t change the price in India. This is funded by the Government, so verizon can’t do anything.
BUWUHAHAHA

Android is linux based. this review needs fixing. Can’t believe they make anyone a reporter (or a technologist) these days
@bradagain Apple for example admitted too using child labor in sweatshops when building the IPHONE product. Alot of people don’t know this information before purchasing products and what work ethics it supports.
@bradagain Once I know these facts from this company and they start talking about the company itself..maybe.
@bradagain Oh, I believe that the companies mark products up like no tomorrow..
and all products do have problems. However, reputation is big for me, how the company treats and pays workers is also a factor in purchasing the product..Thats the clinch, I don’t buy from places like walmart who support companies that pay workers fifteen cents an hour. I’ll pay more for a reputable company even with the markup.
Similar EKEN ‘apads’ cost arounf $100-$150. Are a tad bit slower, and with less peripheral connectors. No way this is going to be $35.
@UglyBetty70 Tech products are a lot cheaper than you think, what we pay for is the brand, markup and I hate to say it, Gimick. I know companies produce things to make money but given the fact that the cost of an iPad is 260$ to produce but the starting price is 500, it seems entirely possible to build a low cost tablet alternative. Mashable . com had an article on the actual ipad cost
Reliability is relative, show me one tech product that doesn’t have problems and i’ll call you a liar
@bradagain just sayin..
@bradagain The reliability for this brand is also a problem, it has not developed a reputation in North America yet..the brand/company name is huge when I consider purchasing a product even for other people. If it’s only $35.00, how do they get it that cheap without cutting on quality or cutting on the workers pay of labor?
@UglyBetty70 so, you’re for giving them a pc built by any numerous companies that charge from 300-2000$ usd? They’ve already been sending kids computers with versions like the OLPC which is about 150$ per laptop. Honestly at 35$ and looking at what it can do in real time, this thing is a steal. I admit that perhaps the “brand” isn’t there, but realistically could you work out the budget for sending every kid an apple or a pc? It just isn’t possible. This however offers a solution.
