Texas Instruments will make a $ 20 mobile phone
The company Texas Instruments is going to make happy the people of developing countries with the release of mobile phones worth $ 20 in the basic version and $ 30 in the modification with GPRS support, writes InfoWorld .
By developing countries, company representatives refer to India and China, where many residents live below the poverty line. Not so long ago, the GSM Association announced a competition to create a phone worth $ 30, and it was won by Motorola, which presented the models C113 and C113a.
The cost of third-generation phones (3G), of course, will be higher - at $ 100-150, say Texas Instruments. True, the company Ericsson is going to make a 3G phone for $ 70, but why all these technological luxuries to a poor Chinese or Indian are not clear.
