Intel plans to partner Govt. for Rs. 1,500 PC

Kolkata: Intel India plans to partner the union HRD ministry to commercially roll out the 1,500 tablet PC for students, the prototype of which was showcased by the government on Thursday. The world's largest chipmaker intends to provide its technical assistance to the government in terms of design evolution, hardware configuration and bring together OEM manufacturers on the table for the product, reports Economic Times.


The center has expressed interest for commercialization of the product. The government also invited inputs from vendors on production of the tablet PC, which can be sold at 1,500 or less. The government plans to commercially launch the product next year.

"We already have close partnership with the HRD ministry and will respond to the expression of interest," said Intel Technology India director (sales and marketing group) Sandeep Aurora. "The opportunity is immense for Intel, such as incorporating the processor to look at other PC technologies. We will collaborate with the entire PC eco-system and can act as a good match maker as well," he said.

Intel feels the project will have immense potential to for PC penetration in the country. "This will go a long way in introducing computers at schools. We have worked on such low-cost PCs for students in other countries and will ensure that India does not repeat the same mistakes which others committed," said Aurora.

"We are in talks with the West Bengal government and are also evaluating a few other states about growing our R&D activities in India. No concrete decision has been taken. India has proved its mettle within Intel globally. In fact, we also have plans to grow our current manpower base of 2,500 in India," said Sandeep Aurora. India is Intel's largest non-manufacturing site outside the U.S

fifa 2010 world champion spain

Champions of Europe and now champions of the world, Spain captured football's Holy Grail for the first time with a 1-0 victory over the Netherlands thanks to Andres Iniesta's 116th-minute strike at Soccer City.

The solitary goal came with penalties looming as substitute Cesc Fabregas played in Iniesta and the little midfielder drove emphatically across Maarten Stekelenburg and into the far corner. With this victory – their fourth successive single-goal win in South Africa – Spain became the eighth name on the FIFA World Cup™ Trophy and also the first European team to have triumphed on a different continent. For the Netherlands, who lost defender John Heitinga to a red card in extra time, there is only the heartache of another tale of what might have been after they completed a hat-trick of Final losses.

Extra time began with opportunities for Spain. Xavi failed to connect when well positioned and when the ball ran to Villa, his shot went wide off an orange shirt. Substitute Fabregas then broke clear on to Iniesta's through-ball but was foiled by Stekelenburg. Mathijsen headed wide from a corner but like waves, Spanish attacks kept rolling on to the Netherlands back line and Navas was close with a shot deflected into the side-netting.
