Default Android Tablet Prototype Costs $50 per Unit

http://liliputing.com/2010/08/allgo...-prototype.html

"Sure, the government of India thinks it can produce a Google Android tablet that will cost just $35 (when you order a million units), but Indian company Allgo has designed a prototype that is says could be built for just $50 — without requiring a government-sized order to bring costs down."

These kind of numbers really don't surprise me.  Given that the US retail cost for the Augen tablet was $150, these prices don't seem too far out.  Given that a tablet device can be made at such low price points, I wonder if an Android based iPod touch like device will also be forthcoming at a low price.  Something dirt cheap with the ability to run apps and access the internet would certainly have a market.
