Two days ago the manufacturer, DataWind, announced that Aakash was sold out. Now the latest update from the company is that people who booked Aakash Tablet online will have to wait for the delivery till January 2012. However, the reason behind the delay is not mentioned.
All the students and other people who have been waiting excitingly to have the first touch of their dream tablet, Aakash, have to wait till next month. Those who are disappointed for Aakash being sold out still have a chance to pre-book UbiSlate, upgraded version of Aakash, through its official website at Rs 2,999 which is just Rs 499 more than the original version.
The upgraded version is powered by Android 2.3 and is more powerful than the original one. UbiSlate will have a a resistive touchscreen, Cortex A8-700 MHz processor and graphics accelerator HD video processor, 256 MB of RAM and 2 GB of internal memory. Other specifications are – one standard USB port, 3.5 mm audio jack, a 7 inch display with 800 x 480 pixel resolution, resistive touchscreen, GPRS and WiFi support.
UbiSlate is more costly than Aakash, because along with the above specifications, the commercially available upgraded version will have a cellular modem which allows the tablet to deliver web access anywhere when there is a cellular connectivity, and also it will function as a mobile phone. Another important point to note about both the tablets is that internet access will be priced at Rs 99 for 2 GB.
