World's Cheapest Tablet Launched in India


The world’s cheapest tablet computer, launched in India.

Co-developed by UK-based company DataWind and the Indian Institute of Technology, the Aakash, also known as UbiSlate 7, is powered by a 600MHz processor and sports a 7in TFT multi-touch screen, two USB ports and an SD card slot. Running on Android 2.2, it also supports Wi-Fi, web browsing and video conferencing.


With 500 units initially being given away at launch to help students with their studies, the Indian government plans to buy a further 100,000 units and sell them for £22 (INR 1600) exclusively to Indian graduate students. DataWind’s goal is to commercialise the tablet in India and sell it for approximately £39 (INR 3000) to the general public. The company has grand plans for the portable device, estimating that there could be almost 10 million units sold across the country over the next few years.
