croppedtablet2 Remember that $35 tablet from India that Nicholas Negroponte offered to help with? Engadget reports that it has made a hands-on appearance on an Indian TV show. (CNet also has coverage.) The device packs an awful lot of wallop for $35: 2GB RAM, wi-fi, 3G, microSD card storage, video out, a webcam, and Android. (It also picks up fingerprints at least as easily as the iPad.)

India will be making the tablet available to universities and students in mid-2011, but there are no plans to market it to the general public yet. If it does hit the open market, it will almost certainly cost more than $35.

The segment on the tablet starts at about 2:30.
