"Aakash" The Cheapest Price of Tablet

India appears to be a very friendly country for middle to lower classes. Especially for those who are still a student. The government provides a tablet called Aakash to students in India only costs 35 US$. DataWind's tablet has a 7 inch screen using Connexant chip 366MHz, with 2 GB of storage facilities and 256 MB of RAM. As an early stage, about 100 thousand tablets will be launched next month.

With the tablet, the expected access to the Internet will become easier. Currently, only 8 percent of India's population has access to the internet in private. Not only that, the people of India too would prefer to use a tablet PC instead.

Indian Communications Minister, Kapil Sibal said that all the students in India should have this tablet. While if the public wants, then they must pay far more expensive, which is 61 US$. Of course for the general public, this tablet will get a more complete feature.
