:01:10. > :01:14.We will look back at some of the coolest mobile technology that we

:07:19. > :07:26.years old and it is more than half empty, it still looks cool. This is
:07:26. > :07:30.the newsroom. This is where the information comes in. A large part
:07:30. > :07:35.of the world does not have access to the highest technology or the

:07:46. > :07:51.At centres like this, people all over India are registering for a

:07:57. > :08:06.begins here. First a photograph is taken. Then fingerprints are
:08:06. > :08:10.scanned. This biometric data forms the basis of that idea. While the
:08:10. > :08:14.technology is simple and robust, there are still a lot of problems
:08:14. > :08:20.creating an accurate data base that accounts for a population as large
:08:20. > :08:29.as India's. A number of people in this country are agricultural
:08:29. > :08:39.labourers. They do not drive that many tractors. These people twirl

:10:02. > :10:09.End, but bargain basement. Tablets are supposed to stand out from the
:10:09. > :10:13.crowd. To be successful in any market place, especially when the
:10:13. > :10:19.competition is stiff, you need to have more than the shop next door.
:10:20. > :10:24.There is a couple of ways of doing this. Like adding features. This is
:10:24. > :10:29.a Intel Studybook out next month end of the Indian market. There is
:10:29. > :10:34.a rubber band inside, protecting it from dusty conditions. It has got
:10:34. > :10:40.all of the features you would expect. But it is not cheap. It
:10:40. > :10:46.costs around the same as the desktop computer. The other way is
:10:46. > :10:52.to go for value for money. For half the price of the Intel Studybook,
:10:52. > :11:00.this comes in a box. The price is due to cutting back on those
:11:00. > :11:04.features. As well as a capacity of screen,
:11:04. > :11:13.this tablet should run three to four times faster than the first
:11:13. > :11:18.one. They will also make a commercial version. This programme
