Indian government is back again with its mythical $35 Android tablet and you are going to see a whole new tablet today, not the one which was shown last year.
It seems the allegations of last tablet being Chinese and several other factors including problems with manufacturing have led Indian Government to go for a totally new tablet, thus so much delay. The new version $35 tablet is being manufactured by a Canadian company Datawind in a Hyderabad plant.
This tablet will be called Aakash Low Cost Access Device (LCAD) and will be available to students for just INR1200 1750 (Update) after subsidies. According to the rumored specifications, it features Android 2.2, 256 MB RAM, a 2GB SD memory card, and 32 GB expandable memory slot and two USB ports.
As the press conference is scheduled for later today, we will be bringing you more details after that. Till then check out these images of Akash tablet.

I have ordered the commercial version of this tablet. Lest see whether it justify my expectation or not. The site has told me to deliver it within 7 days but google is saying that it would get launched in end of the january 2012. How i will get this tab in 7 days. Hopping that commitment will be kept by the site to deliver in 7 days.

@android_help No, I am not at the launch event, it is a very sarkari event, only accredited journalists allowed.
Comment Link
Before you get your hopes high, keep in mind that this is a subsidized rate and only for students. I don’t think its going to be available for everyone who wants to have it!

Indian Got. is doing Great Job

Boasting of wi-fi connectivity, cloud storage, 256 MB of RAM and a 32 GB expandable memory, the $35 tablet is all set to empower the below middle class Indian janta. Indeed a revolution !!

This looks really good. Looking forward to using this. Finally Kapil Sibal does something right. And the best part is being developed & made in India. So in your face china… suck on this. Proud moment for India & Indians. Good Luck to Datawind & hopefully this is a success.
