Hmm, interesting, total PC shipments in China were about 19 million during 2005. If India follows the same growth trajectory as China, there's going to be the market space for the Indian equivalent of an Acer or Lenovo. But does India have a domestic PC manufacturing base, wafer fab infrastructure, anything like that?
