BeagleBoard

It is great to know that IDA systems will be shipping beagleboards in India for just Rs 8999 http://www.idasystems.net/beagle_board

In the past beagleboards were available for 12500 Rs, thanks for Gerald Coley, CircuitCo and IDA to work together in getting the cost down for India.IDA systems is also announced as official distributor for Beagleboards

So any one in India can get local support for beagleboards and shipping should be fast with no lead times like before.Good Luck to IDA and beagle board India users.
