The first shipment will supposedly only contain the 7-inch model and is set to arrive on January 10. It's unclear if the $35 price has stuck or whether India's been successful in plans to drive the price down to $10 eventually with the help of large orders and government subsidies. HCL Technologies plans to initially produce 100,000 units. Among the key features of this India-based tablet include 2GB of RAM, web-conferencing, PDF reader, unzip, WiFi, camera and USB connectivity."

I think most people would consider the manufacture of babies to be an industry where child labour is uncommon.

Boy, are you crazy.
Any idea how long it's been since a "US corp" (whatever that is) has spent cash on R & D? And you believe that corporations worry about whether legislation is "well-written"?
All I can say is that India better hope like hell that Apple doesn't have nukes yet.

Think about it. The mark of the beast. Something placed upon the hand or the head. Impossible to do business without it. Wrought by one who is worshiped as a demigod, but is in fact the antichrist.
If Apple has nukes, it won't just be the end of India.
What we're witnessing here could be the beginning of the end. The iPocalypse itself.
