The introduction of Aakash tablet gave a ray of hope to the people who really
aspired for an affordable tablet, however the high price tag always deterred
them from owning one. The Indian government took an impossible mission on hand
and challenged global manufacturers to deliver on it. The initiative aimed at providing low cost tablet to expand the
learning opportunities of children in the developing world. While the biggies
of the industry shied away from the price point, Datawind a relatively small
technology company focusing on low cost mobile access devices took up the
challenge.
Datawind secured the tender for manufacturing the low-cost
tab. Although, the Aakash tab was criticized over shipping delays, its launch
was one of the biggest hype India created all over the
globe. Within few days of launch, its demand reached so high that its
commercial version Ubislate 7 was sold out a month before it was launched. The
record breaking bookings and success of the first version led to the
introduction of its next version-Aakash 2 (Ubislate 7+) which created a history in terms of
demand.
Now, the question is will the upcoming Aakash 4 bring home
the bacon? There are many other competitors in the race such as Dell,
Acer, Datawind, HP, Microsoft, etc. who had shown interest in developing
Aakash-4. According to the latest updates, its spec sheet is incredible in
accordance with such a low price tag.
Market rumours suggest that Akash4 will be priced at just
under Rs 4,000, the upcoming tab will run on Android 4.2.1 (Jelly Bean) or
above Dual bootable (Latest Ubuntu distro) powered by a quad-core processor
with 1GB RAM, 4 GB Memory expandable up to 32GB. It will offer you 7”
scratch-resistant capacitive touch display 800×480 resolutions with 16 bit
color depth or 2G, 3G, 4G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. The tab will
support document formats like DOC, DOCX, PPT, PPTX, XLS, XLSX, ODT, ODP and
ODS, and video formats like MPEG-2, MPEG-4, AVI and 3GP.
It is a
known fact that the low-priced tablet market has changed since the
introduction of cheapest tablets in the world and it remains to be seen whether
people can bet on Aakash 4. Due to its updated spec sheet and amazingly cheap price tag,
it is expected that everyone would rush to Book Tablets.For details visit http://www.ubislate.com/
