UbiSlate 7 Tablet,the upgraded version of Aakash has a more robust Arm 8- 700 MHz processor and longer battery life of 5 hours. It can be used for making calls as well. The device was developed as part of the country’s aim to link 25,000 colleges and 400 universities in an e-learning program.
The tablet was to be made available in retail stores by the end of November. “The delay in the availability of the tablet has been due to up gradation in the tablet and some unforeseen delay in manufacturing,” the spokesperson said.
According to sources, the Indian government is also planning to provide a new specification for Aakash, which may come with a faster processor and better battery life. The current version of Aakash has a battery life of about 1.5 hours.
The government till now procured only 10,000 tablets. It has still not procured the remaining 90,000 tablets for distribution in schools and colleges, even as other nations have expressed interest to the government for similar low-cost computing initiatives.
