It seems that the launch of
India's cheapest tablet is imminent. "We will be launching our UbiSlate7+
later this month," revealed Suneet Singh Tuli, president and CEO,
DataWind, in an exclusive conversation with EFYTimes. He further stated
that the company would announce the exact launch date very soon.
When
asked about the Government of India's Aakash 2 launch, he responded,
"The Aakash 2 launch date will be set by HRD minister Kapil
Sibal--probably early May."
According to a report,
the upgraded version of Aakash will get Google's Android 4.0 aka Ice
Cream Sandwich OS. Confirming this news, Tuli shared, "At launch, Aakash
2 will support Android 2.3, but we're also actively working on Android
4.0 and expect to be able to offer an Android 4.0 upgrade in about six
to eight weeks after delivery."
Regarding the specs upgrade for Aakash 2, Tuli provided us with the details for the key differences in the Aakash 1 (IIT Rajasthan) version and the upgraded Aakash 2 (DataWind recommendation) unit as below:
While Aakash 1 comes equipped with ARM 11 366Mhz processor, Aakash 2 brings a faster single-core, 800MHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor. On the display front, Aakash sports a resistive touchscreen whereas the upgraded Aakash 2 packs a projective capacitive, 4-point multi-touch screen. The other key differentiator is the battery power. The earlier version packs 2100 mAh battery but the upgraded one comes with a better 3200 mAh battery power.
"Over time, there will also be significant improvements in the processor, as we are continuously seeing price drops for microprocessors," he further elaborated.
