Last time this story was posted there was an update that said the real figures are 100 and 200 dollars? Why is this story back?

Well for one thing they're apparently claiming that it's going to cost $10-20 again. Also, I think it's worthwhile keeping an eye on it. I'm very skeptical myself, but if they did pull it off it would be such a coup.

500 Rupees is $10, not $100: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&...

It's election time in India. These kinda stunts are very common before an election in India. I believe this what the government will subsidize the laptop which then will turn out to be 10$ for public schools but it won't be commercially available for that price.

hehe ... $10 laptop .. tat's funny to say the least .. knowing India, I am almost sure that this is only an election gimmick to boost voting and the govt is basically subsidizing the prices.. nothing more , nothing less !
