We have been hearing about Aakash tablets for almost a year and now, once again. The Aakash 2 an upgraded version was launched by President Pranab Mukherjee, today. Students can buy this tab for a price of Rs. 1,132 (after subsidy).
We all know that the first Aakash tablet by Datawind was a failure marred by low computing power and several other issues. The Aakash 2 is an upgraded version that is powered by a 1GHz processor running Android 4.0 with 4GB internal storage and 512MB RAM.
The new specs definitely look good with a 7 inch screen with capacitive touch supporting 800×480 pixels resolution. Other features included are Wi-Fi and front camera. This Aakash 2 tab will also come with host of interactive E-Learning materials.
Only students will be able to buy the tab for Rs. 1,132 whereas for commercial use, users can look out for Ubislate 7Ci which is the same – but for a price of Rs. 4,499. You can check out the Ubislate.com website which has now got a new look and looks more professional. I hope the delivery / order / support have also been upgraded.

Don’t buy any tablet of Datawind as they are irresponsive, unfamiliar, they haven’t service centre anywhere they will never deliver any tab because they have no management at all. If you luckily get tab from them you will repent.
Does this tab support 3g?
Yes via external dongle connected via USB OTG cable.

The link is already mentioned in the article its http://ubislate.com/
Hi gogi, I am a student. Will you please tell where I can get Aakash 2 or buy online.
Surya, if you buy online you will not get student discount. Also for student discount you need to check with your school.
Datawind is number one cheater. They collected crore of rupees for advance booking of ubislate 7+ months back and not delivering the product so far. Don’t make booking against advance payment with this fraud Datawind. I booked in Dec/11 and make advance payment in March/12 but not get so far. Please, beware of Datawind.
Why don’t you sue on Datawind in court? many saying like you instead sue them, why?
Hey Gogi!
Can you please suggest me a tablet with sim slot and high resolution display for gaming and video streaming below 10K or 11K?
Eagerly waiting for the reply!
Aakahs, don’t think there is any with good resolution and built in SIM slot, better wait for few more months.

Hi I am staying in Bangalore but I am confused how, where to buy aakash tablet 2?

Where can I click and get akash 2 tablet and give full details, how many days it will take for the delivery?
5 to 6 years as per Government rule…lolzz
Hello Gogi, Please suggest best tablet under Rs. 5000, Thanks.
Nayan, you can check here
It looks like a flop for a price of Rs. 4,499, only good for students because of the price. 1 year back it was good but now with dual core for 6500/- there is no point going for this, wish it had come with sim card facility then I would have gone for this one.
How to buy this tab student special price I am in Mahendranagar, Nepal how to buy this aakash 2?
Sim support??
No SIM is not supported.
Scrap 2 launched by Pranab Mukherjee.
Hi gogi what you think it has GPU?
Regards
Ayush
Ayush, yes I think it should have possibly mali 400. Cause the commercial cost and the ones that we are getting from other brands are priced close enough.
They are still in the pre-book mode. I don’t think they would ever be able to sell the actual product.
You can buy the tablet from this website:
How can I get this?
If you are a student you will need to get in touch with your school/college. For commercial users visit http://ubislate.com/
Hi Gogi i have booked Ubislate 7C tablet but i don’t know where is Datawind’s service centre. You’ve any idea.
No idea, you can try call them / emailing them for the same.
It’s GPU is Mali 400
Screenshot: http://im.tech2.in.com/gallery/2012/oct/ubislate7cispec_061340115353.jpg
Hi friends screenshot is telling about GPU but it needs confirmation from Datawind.
I have received ubislate 7ci tablet 1 month ago and I have verified using the antutu benchmark that it has mali 400 gpu.
Hi Shravan from where you got Ubislate 7Ci Tab.
From datawind’s website only through pre booking 7c tablet after which they ask you for an upgraded version for Rs 3999.
Would it be having access to Google play store?
Yes it think it will.
Yes it has access to google play.
