Re: [school-discuss] Getting the Specs

["j. Tim Denny" <johndenny@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

ok ÂI found the specs for the $35 Indian tablet...

http://armdevices.net/2010/07/23/indias-35-tablet-is-based-on-my-video/

from that site...

The Bill Of Material is as following:

ARM9 Processor: $5 (Freescale i.MX233)

Memory: $3

WiFi B/G: $4

Other discret components: $3

Battery: $5

7â 800Ã480 resistive touch screen: $15

Total bill of material: $35

the CPU seems to be this ÂLorARM926EJ-Sâ, 454 MHz maximum speed

So what is missing above?

• case
• motherboard with connectors and expansion ports
• anything else?

This is exactly why I was hoping that somebody
had gotten more than just the basic news stories.
Looks like we'll simply have to wait until the
real nitty-gritty comes out.
