World’s cheapest android tablet Aakash Ubislate 7 – is developed in partnership with the IIT(Indian Institute of Technology) Rajasthan and DataWind (UK Company). Aakash is developed aiming primarily at students of India, because of being a cheapest android tablet and the subsidy from Indian government Aakash tablet will surely be a huge success in India. Poor children who were not able to afford high priced computer devices can now use the Aakash and learn/find their way to success.
The tablet is about the size of a small diary and uses a resistive touchscreen, hence gestures will not work on it, but at the price it is given I don’t think that will be an issue for anyone.
Kapil Sibal, India’s HR development minister handed out 500 of the tablets to few lucky students for testing purpose, the government plans to distribute over 10 million units to students over the next couple of years in India.
- India has committed to 100,000 orders at the slightly increased price of $45 (£29), on the agreement that future orders will be for the lower $34 price.
