The Aakash is an Android tablet computer jointly developed by the London-based companyDataWind[1] with the Indian Institute of Technology Rajasthan. It is manufactured by the India-based company Quad, at a new production centre in Hyderabad[2] — under a trial run of 100,000 units.[3] The tablet was officially launched as the Aakash in New Delhi on Oct 5, 2011. A substantially upgraded second generation model called UbiSlate 7+ is projected for manufacture beginning in early 2012.[4]
The 7-inch touch screen tablet features 256 MB RAM memory, uses an ARM 11 processor[5] with the Android 2.2 operating system, has two universal serial bus (USB) ports[3] and delivers high definition (HD) quality video.[5] For applications, the Aakash will have access to Getjar, an independent market, rather than the Android Market.[6]
As a multi-media platform, the Aakash project was beset by delays and setbacks.[3] The device was developed as part of the country's aim to link 25,000 colleges and 400 universities in an e-learning program.[7] Originally projected as a "$35 laptop",[8] the device will be sold to the Government of India at $50[3] and will be distributed at a government subsidized price of $35. A commercial version of Aakash is currently marketed as UbiSlate 7+[9] at a price of $60.[10]
By January 3, 2012 1.4 million online orders for the Aakash had been received.
