Aakash 2 Tablet Launch In August For ?2,263 By IIT Bombay
Aakash 2, the tablet popular for being the world's cheapest, is all set to launch in August for a price of Rs. 2,263 ($39). The tablet will be running on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and will have a 2GB flash storage, a 256 MB RAM and a 800Mhz processor. The original Aakash tablet was bashed by the users for having poor responsiveness and bad quality overall. It was then being manufactured by a company called Datawind along with IIT Rajasthan. We also heard of a rift between these two, because IIT Rajasthan wanted the tablet to be water-proof and loaded with military-style specifications, which Datawind didn't approve of. So, the project's development was transferred to the folks at IIT-Bombay.
