I would rather buy the Nokia N770/N800/N810. I really dont need a box with so many wires sticking out of it. :-(( We dont even know if it has a processor or it needs to be connected to another PC/cellphone.

I didn't do any research on the name as the word is from my mother tongue 'Hindi'. I messed up the translation cause the pronounication can make a lot of difference here; another word sounding very similar to this one is, 'Saksham' which means 'capable'. The quality of being capable is 'Saakshat' and this is where i got it wrong.... Dear Ignorantamerican,

I believe this device will cost $30 per individual piece, which can come down to $20 bulk initially and $10 eventually. That will be a great wi-fi revolution. Ofcourse, can browse only text and no graphics/flash plus cost of wi-fi net connction is still very high in India even if available. This is like offering free television but not providing electricity and cable connection. THEY DID CONFIRM IT HAS WI-FI and it is like cell-phone/MP3 player/FM player.

As for the name of the laptop, well I guess they wanted to give an Indian name to it...'Sakshat' means Capable. They really don't need to name everything in English, so that people (like you) find it easy to pronounce and comprehend. if they can't...they make fun of it....so much for understanding cultural diversity dude....

There is a reason for the old saying, "You get what you pay for." So don't complain if you buy one when their available in the states and people start calling in customer service bitching that their $10 laptop is malfunctioning. Oh geez, lets see if I get this correct mam, you bought a $10 dollar lap top for your husband as a gift and it isn't working, go ahead send it in and we'll send it back when we fix the issue... Then shipping cost will be another $10 you stupe idiots hahahaha! This is what I call misuse of a mind. Creating stupe toy shit.
