India unveils $45 Akash tablet
A US$45 tablet is now a reality, thanks to Indian ingenuity. The tablet launches this week and its hope is to bring the digital age to millions of students across India.
The “Akash” or “Sky” is to be launched in New Deli by Kapil Sibal, India’s Human Resources Development Minister.
The Akash will apparently have a seven-inch screen, 180 minutes of battery and the ability to play content. The tablet will also include Android 2.2 as its operating system, will have two USB ports, video-conferencing capabilities and an expandable memory slot (up to 32GB). One downside to the Akash will be its limited RAM of only 256MB.
