Pretty darn popular, it seems. The Aakash (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Aakash/) has already notched up 1.4 million bookings since going up for sale on December 14th, not massively surprising given the $41 (2,500 rupee) price tag. An upgraded version is already planned for March, with three new factories planned to each produce 75,000 new units per month. If a sub-$50 tablet is still too expensive for your tastes, then you may be happy to hear that the price should still (http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/05/indias-35-tablet-is-here-for-real-called-aakash-costs-60/) sink as low as $35 and could even be pushed as low as $10. At that price, we'll take five.
