DataWind the official makers of Aakash tablet, the one that we have been hearing ‘more’ and seeing ‘less’ have now launched 4 new tablets called the UbiSlate 7Ri, UbiSlate 7R+, UbiSlate 7Ci and UbiSlate 7C+. All of these tabs are with 7 inch resistive or capacitive screen with price tag between Rs. 2,900 to Rs. 5,000.
No doubt the whole Aakash tablet project was a big disaster and the trend still continues. It is impossible to communicate with DataWind and they still are following the same traditional method – the famous “Pre-book now”, I cannot understand as to why they cannot distribute the tabs to online stores so one can, “order now”.
Users have waited, and some are still waiting for the Aakash tablet, some even ended up paying via cheques. But the good news is some did receive the tablet, well that’s some of the lucky ones and some unlucky, from the lucky ones who are facing several technical issues with the tab. Moreover as I mentioned before it’s virtually impossible to communicate with the company for general queries or support.
Anyways you can check out the 4 new tablets from Datawind listed below. DataWind has finally realised that they need a powerful processor and the newest tabs do live up to that expectations. The specs are good and to control the price barrier they come with resistive and capacitive screen options, the resistive screen being more budget friendly.
UbiSlate 7Ri
- 7 inch resistive screen with 800×480 pixels.
- Cortex A8 clocked at 1GHz with 512MB RAM running ICS Android 4.0.
- 4GB internal storage.
- G-Sensors, 3.5mm jack, Wi-Fi, front VGA camera and MicroSD support.
- 2 hours of battery life.
UbiSlate 7R+
- 7 inch resistive screen with 800×480 pixels.
- Cortex A8 clocked at 1GHz with 512MB RAM running ICS Android 4.0.
- 4GB internal storage.
- G-Sensors, Wi-Fi, GPRS, front VGA camera, 3.5mm jack, and MicroSD support.
- 3 to 4 hours of battery life (3200 mAh battery).
UbiSlate 7Ci
- 7 inch capacitive screen with 800×480 pixels.
- Cortex A8 clocked at 1GHz with 512MB RAM running ICS Android 4.0.
- 4GB internal storage.
- G-Sensors, Wi-Fi, front VGA camera, 3.5mm jack, and MicroSD support.
- 2 hours of battery life.
UbiSlate 7C+
- 7 inch capacitive screen with 800×480 pixels.
- Cortex A8 clocked at 1GHz with 512MB RAM running ICS Android 4.0.
- 4GB internal storage.
- G-Sensors, Wi-Fi, GPRS, front VGA camera, 3.5mm jack, and MicroSD support.
- 3 – 4 hours of battery life (3200 mAh battery).
As you can see there is not much difference between the models. Also note that the battery life is pathetic on 7Ri and 7Ci models which will hardly last for about 2 hours may be less. The other 2 models come with 3200 mAh battery which should do pretty good job. The GPRS option I believe will be via external supported dongles.
The new UbiSlate tablets will be priced between 2,900 to 5,000 Indian Rupees and the process is the same, pre-book from Ubislate.com website then, wait, wait..wait and wait.

Hi Gogi,
I got the tab 7C+ on 20 march 2013 after opening the box i fount the tab is not new it’s already used one, but accepting the truth Datawind the cheaters i accepted the tab, and now after 7 days it is not working,no display, no charging notification, no reset nothing.
Guide me.
Regards
Kiran Pawar
I booked Ubislate 7c+ on 10 mar 13. The mode of payment was COD. I received the Tab on 25 Mar 13 and its working fine. Till now I have not experimented with the tab. I found the ubisurfer browser is slower than the common android browser.
DEAR ALL
DO NOT PURCHASE ANY TAB FROM DATAWIND / UNISLAT / AAKASH THIS IS PATHETIC, USELESS, NO BLUE TOOTH, BORING
I HAVE PURCHASED UNSLAT 7C + BUT WITH SOLAR CHARGER WHICH IS NOT IN WORKING CONDITION, AFTER SENDING MAIL / REGULAR TELEPHONIC CONVERSATION NO RESPONSE FROM COMPANY
I got the Ubislate 7C+, it is really nice as per the price. I am using all the features of it but one bug is there, I do not know if other are getting it or not. The Date/Time is not showing properly sometime, if I restart it then will work, it is not trying to sync with the GPRS provider. I have checked the VGA camera it is of bad quality, you cannot get great viewing camera by paying 5000 bucks, so negotiable.
Guys, try to keep less data which ever is required, I have done lots of experiment on the handset and found some tips which will keep you away from worry.
- Try to keep internal storage clean, keep less data in the Tab, don’t put movies, songs, it will verify sometime and kill you processing time.
- Add icon to you 4 desktop and keep 1 desktop empty or nothing at all, and that should be the one by default when you lock/unlock.
- If you open multiple task then kill by using app killer if that app will not close. Sometime if you open, and close it then it still running.
- Do not keep the tab charging continuously, once it charged then use till the battery is 10-20%, this will keep your battery life longer.
- And if you do not want any app close it or removed or cleared the history.
- Use firefox, chrome takes some memory to work faster, do not know about opera, may be it is not working properly on Android. I never use opera, always use FF.
- Sometime like daily 2-3 times restart the tablet, it will refresh.
I will post you if I found something new.
- Pranab

ubislate 7c+ video

finally, what do u suggest me whether to buy ubislate 7c+ or not?–jk
Be Wise do not buy, try some other option.
Service of customer care is very poor. Unlike other companies (flipkart) where devices gets replaced with new ones hand by hand, they tell people to send the device to their centre at amritsar and wait for it to get repaired for atleast 2 months. They are not able to deliver the product for 5 to 6 months even after taking it’s payment. Datawind is very poor in terms of service, if the product has any issues, which is very likely, then one will regret it’s decision to buy poor service product.!!. Customer care people are not cooperative, they are not ready to replace any faulty product.I am struggling to get my faulty device replaced.

guys, dont buy ubislate products
I recieved my tab on 14-feb-2013. When i opened the box, i found that it was already used. i find the following problems with my Ubislate 7C+:-
-SD card (memory card) slot is not working. i tried many types of sd card in all ways but its showing “mount the SD card”
-after every 5-6 hours device is getting switched of automatically
-Ram which is said to be of 512Mb is just of 356Mb
-Internal storage is said to be of 4Gb but its just of 1.58+0.98Gb
-I tried Bsnl, Docomo, vodafone, Uninor sim cards and only uninor and docomo sims can made calls, internet is not getting connected. when i put Bsnl and vodafone card it was getting hanged.
I find some advantages also,
-Speed of tab is good enough, its not lagging
-7″ capacitive screen is awesome. its very enough sensetive
-Front cam is good even when its just of 0.3MP
-battery backup is upto 6-7 hours on normal use. which i find quite enough
i will suggest everyone not to go with ubislate. in market, many other tabs in the range of Rs. 6000-7500 are available and they are just awesome and will 100% bit the ubislate in any way
I have already paid RS 4999/- on 20.12.2012 through online payment but i have not recieved my tab. it is must be delivered in 72 Hrs.
i sent many mail to datawind but no comes any satisfactory reply.please suggest me what can i do ?
order no PM126DA08A31
U write mail to them at aakash2@datawind.com with ur booking ID and send reminder at every 2 days then they will send you product with in 10 days.
Guys Guys Guys Guys……..Plz Stop buying this Aakash Tablets online.They are the one siiting in punjab with great plans to loot people and we can not do anything to them.I did a online payment of rs 4999/-My order Conformation no. is PM7D9DF91386.I am going to file a case against these fraudulents.
They loot people buy taking their Cheques,money,debiting their accounts online and much more.
Plz do not run at the back of this Tab……Its of no use.If you do the payment you won’t get the Tab for sure.If buy any mean you get it you will not find a service center in the whole world to repair it.
Many have them have complaint about getting a broken tab through Courier and many told their tabs doesn’t even switch on even by trying from all the possible means.So this is the true story of the national looters.Dont ever dream of buying it online.
If you can see the tab in a store if you think its working fine and worthy enough then go for it unless plzz dont be a fool like me and loose money.

The payment made on 1st april by cheque of rupees 2999/- dated 01/04/2012 chq no 925158. It was already debited my account.
No responce from company side. Still waiting…………
aapkiaap.com is fake or valid website please tell me sir i booked ubislate 7cz
aapkiaap.com is younger brother of ubslate.com , all fake , people have made payments almost a year in advance . They are not bothered to answer people , if you are not fake ,bogus ,fraud then attend to them ,there is no answer ,no response and no replay . How can you believe that they are not frauds ? If there is a problem , delay you keep in touch with people , you sell your products through your websites and keep the people who paid in advance waiting . It is really very strange , they have to answer otherwise they will get in to trouble , I have booked one in April 2012 also paid in advance . The booking id is PM88864442E , whenever I tried to see the status , the answer appear in red ” the booking id is not valid ” , what does it mean? They have to explain this .

Hello Ajeet!
1st of all thanks a lot for ur video…i have 3 questions if u can help me out would be grateful to u…
1. Does it support 3G sim card?
2. What about datawind service center? becaz m unable to find any details…got 2 phone numbers but no response…Please help really would like to buy this tablet?
3. what about Gaming Experience? have u tried any HD game like TEMPLE RUN…ASPHALT…NFS?? PLEASE SHARE YOUR FEEDBACK…
@ Nik:-
No dear it doesn’t support 3G sim card.
Presently DATAWIND doesn’t have any service center. If your device is having any problem and is under warranty than you have to send the same to DATAWIND (i.e. Amritsar) by courier for repairing. After repairing they will send back the device to you.
I have tried temple run & NFS both on it. Both are running very smoothly.
It is a good low budget device. go for it……:-)
if having any further problem ask me on ajeetkumar0613@gmail.com
Hello Ajeet!

Dear Gogi:
I received email from datawind(offer-uo@datawind.com) and a link: http://aapkiapp.com/cod/confirmation_form.html on 24th Dec. 12. I selected Ubislate 7 CZ and made online payment of Rs.5999/- on 29th Dec 12.
They have given me the Order Number PM02938 and the link: http://aapkiapp.com/cod/status.html to check the status. Status is showing ORDER RECEIVED.
The webpage that get opened after visiting the above sites looks exactly similar to the webpages that get opened after visiting site http://ubislate.com/device-specification/status.html which is genuine site.
I wanted o know whether it was a phishing attack in response to which I should undergo any legal action or I should remain hopeful for getting the tab?
Gogi kindly reply over this issue and suggest something..
I have book Ubislate7Ci with reference code PM16F0DE3359. I want to cancell the order. How to do. Please let me know. I want to go for different product.
I am also one of the Ubislate victim, before buying check the review comments in various site…lot of complaints are there…….
Dear Gogi:
Today I received email from datawind(offer-uo@datawind.com) and a link: http://aapkiapp.com/cod/confirmation_form.html. I selected Ubislate 7Ci and made online payment. They have given me the Order Number and the link: http://aapkiapp.com/cod/status.html to check the status. Status is showing ORDER RECEIVED. Can you tell me when i’ll receive the product ?
Regards,
Harman
The process is very slow, very very slow, do it at your own risk and by the time you will get the tab there will be quad core tabs in the market.
It is the stupid thing to wait for delivery even we paid money in advance. Just think about it and cancel the order.
Dear gogi,
please suggest a similar tablet in approx. same price,it would be helpful to all who are waiting ,waiting,waiting………………
Hi difficult to get at the same cost you can check the tablet section for such tabs, it will cost you over 4k.
Booked Ubislate 7cz and paid online a sum of Rs 5999. However, after going through the millions of complaints on the net, I cancelled the order and have asked for refund on Dec 09,2012. I have got an email from datawind (after sending them at least 10 emails) that they will refund within 3-4 weeks after deducting Rs 500 as cancellation charges.(though the website says that before the delivery of the product entire sum will be refunded). Looks like I will have to go to the Consumer Court.
dEAR sIR I paid on line for ubislate cz gotted order id pm8b4a1 .the on line payment done on 25 Jan 2013 still no any response recieved from the company.What may I do now Pls help me
