When is a $10 laptop not a $10 laptop? When it costs $30 and is actually a storage device.

Word about the $10 laptop that was expected to be unveiled in India yesterday appears to have gone wrong somewhere along the line.

It seems that it will actually be a storage device that the can be used to provide easy access to information that’s already loaded on it. It’s also now expected to cost $30.

It measures 10-inches long by 5-inches wide and you will still need a laptop to access anything stored on it, which means it’s not much use on its own. It could still lead to the development of a super cheap computer, but for now it looks like the OLPC will still be the cheapest laptop on the block.
