wonder if they plan on a global release, would love a cheap tablet for reading books!

The official website for the tablet http://www.akashslate.com/

Wonder how much they're losing on those. You know damn well it takes more than $34 to make one.

Yeah, there must be some subsidizing going on. Even with labor costs of zero, you still have to buy the components. Unless they're making zero profit.

I call overstock products wipe out, but still its a very smart tablet for making only what you really need and not what you believe you need

Go India!

It is Co-Produced by Datawind UK, but assembling and actual manufacturing is being done in Indian city of Hyderabad.

So it's a made in India Product not British made.

Please correct your title.

I think it'll do well for first couple of quarters and then die miserably like TATA Nano.

Beware of cheap products!!!

You read my mind.

It probably doesn't take more than $34 to make a tablet, actually.

Such specs for that cheap a price is surprising. Like to see what it's like. I'm from Sri Lanka which is practically next door to India so should be able to get my hands on one of these

The Minister's name is Kapil Sibal, btw, with an L. He's the Minister for Communications and IT, not HR development.

LOL! He's HRD Minister AS WELL AS Comm. Minister in the wake of suspension of A.Raja

people would not content even if they get cheap tablet with 3hour battery capacity

see some of student face not show glad face when they open this tablet package,

it is better that India should more invest in making Tablet factory in India and produce for their own people good quality with cheap price . India has a lot of economic to developed the same as china

Why would we offer cheap devices only for the poor? Why can't all be able to buy inexpensive products, can we lower prices just because someone is poor? What do the rich get? Isn't that discrimination?

hey stop all those we INDIANS going to rock the whole world soon not only in education but in research and development also beware and be aware of us . soon going to over take US and developing CHINA

hey people of other nations make a note within 10 years all nations will depend on INDIA that time u ll say " INDIA the great " now too ur giant companies are coming to our country to sell all things
becoz of money money money

So the whole world will come to give to you, but what do you offer the world?

Hope they are not pulling any Scam through this as this would really going to effect our image at global standards
