Aakash tablet delayed to shipping



Those who booked the Aakash tablet, earlier this month will have to wait until next year to lay their hands on it. This cheapest tablet in the world had its units completely sold out within a week when it was made available for purchase by Datawind. The device was expected to reach customers within seven days, but now they will have to wait until January 2012, reports ZeeNews.


Aakash makers had announced a contest to craft apps for the Aakash for enthusiastic students across the nation. Ubislate makers have also inked an agreement with Nasscom, as a part of which 200 tablets will be distributed across several NGOs across the nation.

The new, upgraded version of Aakash will run on Android 2.2 and a spec sheet is expected too include 7-inch resistive touchscreen, Cortex A8-700MHz processor, HD video processor, 256 MB of RAM, 2GB of internal memory, support for GPRS and Wi-Fi, a USB port, 3.5 mm audio jack. Apparently, a much upgarded tablet attached with a Rs.400 keyboard is also expected to be in the pipeline at a cost of Rs.3,400.
