Android has been a rage in the past one and a half year catching the fancy of nearly all the major players in the industry. The Indian government saw the potential in this young mobile OS and said it can make a million Android tablets for $35 a piece. Now, an Indian company Allgo claims that it can make $50 tablets for an order of 10,000 units.

Would such devices make for a better world or will they just end up being vaporware? We will be bringing you more details on the same soon. Stay tuned.
