Taking that price into consideration you are now looking at the world’s cheapest tablet – so would make it the Tata Nano of the consumer electronics world. It does seem fitting that India is able to corner both these markets, and it is no surprise. India is an emerging market, and to make things more affordable to all Indian’s these could be just the start.

This new tablet reminds us a little of the OLPC program, we would love to see something like this brought up-to-date, as the tablet is something that would be more beneficial to children in some of the poorer areas of India. The OLPC program was good at the time, but technology has changed so something new is needed.

PI is uncertain as to the specs of the Sakshat tablet, but they do have a pretty good idea – do not expect much. The processor could be the 800 Mhz ARM 11 with 256 of RAM and 2GB ROM. The size of the tablet looks to be 7-inches and even has Wi-Fi and support for 3G – although externally.

We have no idea as to a release date, and how long the Indian government will offer the subsidized pricing. See a video of it for yourself below.

According to AutoBlog, Hyundai is working on a microcar to challenge the Nano with a price tag equivalent to $4,400.

The 800cc petrol engine H800 project is said to be priced between Suzuki’s Alto and the Nano, and reportedly due to be a working prototype for testing mid 2010. Although there is no official confirmation from Hyundai about the H800, the rendered pictures from Indian Autos Blog show a very nice looking little car. Take a look for yourself and give us your views?
