PS- I would really appriciate if you could spread this information.
No network interface, so its a stand alone device, you would have to depend on pain staking flash drives for data transfer... this is the only one down point I see.. I would love to carry a on the go development system but most of work these days is on cloud, so need a network interface...

USB to Ethernet convertor (Made in China) is available for 350 RS :)
Well, that way I can buy a Tata Photon+ or something like that as well, then that is again 2000 bucks extra spent... will have to see how good the device is, worth having or not.
Thanks!

The regular version has only one usb. The dev version has a usb host too. It should have had these three things 1) modem (gprs / cdma) 2) Ethernet 3) USB
or the simplest choice 3 usb. One might settle for 2 usb if you are ready to do some juggling. But with only one usb it's a problem
Nonetheless a very nicely speced device, particularly for some hardware hacking with MIPS, instead of the usual ARM. Note that all the schematics, FPGA, gerbers etc are all available.
