Because Indians are simple folk that live in squaller and worship the cows that walk all streets. They're dramatically over-populated at 1.1bn and Americans hate dealing with them for customer service-related issues that are outsourced. They're annoying and drive like crap.............
I'm happy Hp is going to vet their up and coming crap in a country that has virtually no ability to purchase. Let the Indians try this destined-to-fail garbage!

may i point out the article june 2013 here i will even link to it. link
the article from a few months back points out that india is the 3rd largest cell phone market.If they can afford smartphones i can see tablets doing well in india.
I agree they are annoying trying to sell you stuff on the phone,trying to change your plan and door door here they try and sign you up for plans and lie.
Also find it funny you imply they have no money but say customer service is outsourced, working in communications does pay in India,they work long hours and get money,not as much per hour as usa,australia,uk but they get money.

Wow, it's been a while since I saw such sweeping statements about a population - & largely based on some phone contact.
Hmmm.
There's only over 1 billion Indian people, so even if a very small % are by western standards middleclass/rich, that's still a lot of people.
India is also one of the up & coming 'BRIC' nations, things are far from the barely developed, stuck in the ancient or colonial past, 50's type charicature.
India is also churning out graduates specialising in software & hardware manufacture as fast as she can.
Just as certain people used to point & laugh at the likes of Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Malaysia, China etc etc India is heading exactly the same way.
The oinly concern I have about her as a nation is that she manages it as environmentally cleanly as possible - and doesn't leave vast numbers of her people behind - in the process.
