More details on India’s $35 tablet

July 23rd, 2010 by Nate Hoffelder · 1 Comment · hardware news

Charbax of Armdevices.net found what might be the hardware developer for the $35 tablet I reported on this morning.He was at the Freescale Technology Forum last month when he met a Bangalore based company called AllGo Systems.

Here is Charbax’s bill of materials for the AllGo tablet:

  • ARM9 Processor: $5 (Freescale i.MX233)
  • Memory: $3
  • WiFi B/G: $4
  • Other discret components: $3
  • Battery: $5
  • 7? 800×480 resistive touch screen: $15
  • Total bill of material: $35

I’m pretty sure he’s found the right company. At the very least AllGo Systems were consulted on the design.

    Awesome! I was looking for the specs on this device to put up on my blog post. Now, I’ve used your post as the source instead.

    Thanks Nate!
