The Aakash 2 tablet is expected to cost Rs. 1500 (~$35) which makes it cheaper than the Aakash original tablet. Sibal says that this has been made possible because Datawind used India based plant to manufacture the latest version. Sibal further said that the government is planning to manufacture about a million of Aakash 2 tablets without putting extra burden on the ministry of finance.
Aakash 2 tablet has been in the news for #-Link-Snipped-# reasons. Lenovo recently commented that it's going to be impossible to manufacture a tablet at the price Aakash is making to the markets, while keeping similar user experience of the popular tablets. It'd be quite interesting to see whether the Aakash 2 makes the customers happy. Reading through the comments on the social media, it looks like a large number of Aakash customers aren't happy about the quality of the screen, especially the display.
We promise to keep you updated about the latest developments on the Aakash tablet.
