After the huge success of tablet PCs incorporating the best
technology in the market, a new cheap tablet Aakash has been recently
launched in India.
Aakash, allocated as the world’s cheapest tablet PC, has evinced a
lot of attention among several world leaders and international
organizations. A 7-inch device running on Google android 2.2 platforms
and offering multiple touch screens, accelerated graphics, connexant CPU
with HD video, Wi-Fi connectivity at an unbeatable price was indeed a
dream of many.
The touch screen is resistive. Possibly this will be the issue of
apprehension for many. The device lacks a camera but the most important
point is that students can access lectures, simulations, animations,
notes, study materials instantly over the internet and download them.
The product is actually branded as Ubislate Netbook. It is a light
weighted device and so convinient that it may be simply carried along
anywhere and everywhere.
With preliminary spotlight on wide-ranging education, the Indian
government is literally accomplishing its venture for e-empowerment.
Though it doesn't have a hard drive, a memory card can be used to store
data. The tablet has been designed and manufactured by Datawind, a UK
based company, which a developer of wireless web access products and
services.
DataWind has developed and offers a series of wireless web access
devices and the related web delivery platform. Their products are
offered by the world’s largest national level stores and most
prestigious Cellular distributors.
In a country like India where majority of the population is still
working towards making ends meet a tablet that comes as low as price as
Rs. 2200/- is a dream for many. Kapil Sibbal, the Telecom and education
minister has unveils this cheap tablet last year for those who cannot
meet the expense of an expensive tablet.
The price was to be subsidized by the federal government so that
students will undeniably need to spend just half of the cost. The
hardware was actually sourced from South Korea, China as well as from
the US. Datawind, revealed a contest for the IIT students to provide
applications for the Aakash tablet.
This device is set to bring a change in the way people see and use
the technology in their every day lives. Not only the cost, but the
function providing by the company in such cost is remarkable and
noteworthy for the medium section and less privileged people of the
society. In such a less cost, this tablet is no doubt an attention
grabber.
In today’s world when every gadget with latest technology is
expensive, this cheap tablet has proved its worth with its cost. The
ultra-low cost tablet giant procures more than 20 components from China,
35 from Korea besides others from the US and India.
Aakash tablet is no doubt a dream of many which turns into reality.
With the launch of this unique computing device, every scholar in India
would have a compact computer access which is like a trance turning into
veracity. It is the latest and advance innovation and the new tablet PC
for today’s generation. The tablet has gained massive publicity and
managed to catch eyes of people even just before the official launch.
However there many detractors too, who are questioning the usability
of tablet Aakash. So now the government of India has decided to launch
the upgraded version of Aakash, the Aakash 2 also called as Ubislate 7+
which will have better specifications than current aakash. With 1.5 lakh
online pre-orders, the Aakash 2 is all set for a launch in early March,
2012, not in January as proclaimed.
