Announcing the products, HCL chairman Ajai Chowdhry said that these products
made portable computing accessible to a large part of the population in India.
These "products have the power to change the marketplace," he said. There was a
space in the market with more mobility than a laptop, and more capability than a
cell phone, he added. "This has been a day I've dreamt of for a long time.... The
