If I believe the rumors to be true, a laptop within 10,000 Rs. is just around the corner in the Indian markets. A communications company Qualcomm is introducing this laptop calling it ‘Kayak’. The company assures to launch it by the later half of 2009. What interesting is that the laptop will be capable to provide internet services over cell phone network services just as how mobile phones work. For Qualcomm however, this technology is not new. There have been Kayak PCs available globally manufactured by Qualcomm itself.
As far as India is concerned, this new laptop will be a breeze for sure specially because of its massively downsized price tag. And moreover, wireless internet is slowly getting a thrust in India. To provide computing and connectivity on the go, Qualcomm will use its own dual-core mobile station chipsets for Kayaks. I think it is great idea to ‘over-clock’ mobile processors to perform PC related functions like web-browsing, e-mail, chat, etc. So, if Qualcomm people hit with better marketing strategies, we are sure to grab a pick.
