My 120USD estimate was based on what a device with that kind of hardware expense typically costs retail, add more to subsidize others. The USD35 figure is not a retail price, and isn't far removed from the component cost of other similar devices already on sale. If one ignores hardware and software development costs, distribution costs etc, one can get the headline figure much lower, but then it isn't great innovation in anything but marketing. > The only thing we can do is wait and see what really happens, but > frankly I hope the Indian Government get a good return on such an > investment.
