While people might not know this, there are quite a few "rich" people in India, not everyone is poor. The total AVERAGE salary, whether rich or poor, comes around 60$/month, 66$ according to 2009 figures from some websites. That's about 2$/day, don't forget that the rich get about 5000$+/month and the upper-mid class is about 1000$ +/month ! The middle class ranges from about 200-2000$ and most get about 300$/month
I'm guessing these figures are excluding taxes, not sure how that works
Take all this into account, and realize that most live with salaries between 0.75$ and 1.50$ per day, or 5-15$ /per week, you can easily see that 35$ is still high for most of them, while 10$ is only about 1 week pay so its OK.
to compare, the average Salary in the US exceeds 50K, which means an average of 1000$ per WEEK, so 1 week salary is 1000$, or twice the price of an Ipad, while 35$ would be 3.5x that, around 3500$
Keep in mind this is a faulty comparison, but it gives an idea

hello friends i am Rajesh. Belongs to a lower middle class family with a family earning of 40000 INR or
890$ approx but i am still belons to a lower middle class india is now not the same as you guys are thinking
I am able to purchase a ipad but i dont want i can purchase a xbox. But why should i purchase i dont have time to play with that. I am interested in this gadget only beacuse of its inovation but why should i use that device according to them if they ship this to me with linux or android then why should i use this. I want to buy this only to do some research on this and try to improve this . This is the thinking of a Indian student we never care for money we know how to make that. But what we like is inovation.
and who said that india is not having pure water, good food and all other essential stuffs i belongs to an army background and spent 18 years in different corners of india and till now i have not watched any person sleeping
hungery due to non availability.
If india is poor then their is no question of being a wider car market
India is having the biggest car market in the world after USA and China and may have bigger luxury car market then china and also here someone says that this device is not going to make loops in apple,s ipad.
Right but the reason given is incorrect the correct reason is that apple have not launche its ipad here in India.
I promise that if apple launches ipad in India then it accounts a record sale as India is having enough buyers which can spent money on ipad simultaneously with the sakshat tablet.
and these two devices are very different to each other ipad is a luxury whereas sakshat is must have.
