Smartphone priced at $20 by ARM

Smartphones are constantly getting cheaper. ARM, headquarted in Cambridge, UK, said in a slide at their Tech Day that it can produce a smartphone until the end of 2014 that will be priced at $20. 
The smartphone will feature a single core Cortex-A5 processor and will be able to connect to 2.5G (EDGE) networks. 
According to AMR, we could see more third-world countries connecting to the internet through their phones. We will have to see how this plays out over the next months and whether ARM’s $20 smartphone will become a reality.
