Imagination of cheapest tablet is become true in India! Just few days before, Indians got good news from their government as a launch of Aakash tablet. Indian government has introduced one by one two tablets Aakash and Aakash 2 also called as Ubislate 7 for students, individuals and commercial users. The cheapest price is the main feature of Aakash tablets, which have finally gone on sale at their official webpage. Doing a comparison becomes necessary when two similar features devices are launched by one company. Comparison is the perfect solution to know about "which one is better?" Reviews about the tablets are not good due to its hardware specifications and performance, but it is good for students.
Both tablets are the creation of London-based Company DataWind and Indian Institute of Technology Rajasthan. It is contrived by the India-based company Quad. The World’s first cheapest tablet, “Aakash tablet” has been launched on 5 October 2011 with 100,000 trial units, while second version of Aakash tablet has not been introduced yet, may be it will come in market early in January 2012. Aakash 2 (Ubislate 7) is the upgraded version of Aakash tablet so definitely it will be better than Aakash tablet. Ubislate 7 is the result of bad reviews of Aakash tablet.
