India's Rs. 1600 Tablet - Sakshat, Gets Hit by a Setback > News on Tablets PCs & Laptops > Tech2.com India

It’s been quite a while since we first saw the cheapest tablet in India. The tablet was supposed to come at a price of Rs. 1600 and the launch was due on the 15th of January. Well, the date has passed but there's news now that the tender to make these tablets, which was previously given to HCL has been cancelled.


I belong... to no one

According to sources, the tender for the tablet was handed to HCL, but a mail doing the rounds inside the Ministry of HRD said that the selected vendor was making demands that were unreasonable. The Rs. 60 Crore tender is up for grabs again, so it’s time to wait and see who will actually take the dive.

While it looks like HCL has not confirmed about the news, there is no mention of it on government websites either. Also, it seems to be that the tablet was under a lot of speculation about it being completely outsourced from China.

We’ve had our share of delayed promises really, right from Mobile Number Portability to 3G Connectivity and now we have the tablet thingy. Maybe the government is not to be blamed completely, the fact that two parties should know about the whole deal before signing a contract is not rocket science.  

Anyhow, the only option left is to wait (again!) and watch.

Yellow Fever Vaccination is given only between 10 am and 4 pm everyday. Appointment necessary!

Vaccination Appointment for International Travelers (VAIT) Yellow Fever Vaccination is given only between 10 am and 4 pm everyday. Mail a copy of your passport to info@hopehospital.com before your appointment date. Yellow fever : ·        Mandatory vaccination against yellow fever is carried out to prevent the importation of yellow fever virus into vulnerable countries. These are countries where yellow fever does not occur but where the mosquito vector and non-human primate hosts are present. Importation of the virus by an infected traveller could potentially lead to the establishment of infection in mosquitoes and primates, with a consequent risk of infection for the local population. In such cases, vaccination is an entry requirement for all travellers arriving from countries, including airport transit, where there is a risk of yellow fever transmission. If yellow fever vaccination is contraindicated for medical reasons, a medical certificate is required for

PROTECT your joints now, or pay later.

See the full gallery on Posterous That’s the message of today’s article, which could be headlined Joint Economics. If you are one of the more than 400,000 people a year who have already had one or more hips or knees replaced — or someone who already has no choice but to consider joining their ranks — we offer our sympathies or encouragement or even congratulations, depending on how you are faring. But this column is for people who are not yet destined to necessarily become part of those statistics. Although the human body has an amazing capacity to repair itself, our joints are surprisingly fragile. When the cartilage that cushions bones wears away, it does not grow back. Thinning cartilage contributes to   osteoarthritis , also known as degenerative   arthritis , a painful and often debilitating condition. Over time, arthritic joints can become so sore and inflamed that they need to be replaced with mechanical substitutes. A result: more pain, at least in the short
