India's $20 Android Tablet First Project Completed

[wraggster]

Though there were some troubles and worries along the way, Datawind has delivered to India's government the full allocation of100,000 (1 lakh) 'Aakash 2' Android tablets (http://gadgets.ndtv.com/tablets/news/aakash-2-project-completed-1-lakh-units-shipped-to-government-datawind-361765) from their first order. Priced at about $40, these tablets aren't the sort Americans would rave about: 330 MHz, 256MB RAM and so on. But for the last 2,000 units for the same price Datawind supplied Aakash 3 1GHz, 1GB RAM, 4GB Android tablets with SDHC and 3G mobile — for the same price. Such is the progress in mobile today. There was some doubt whether Datawind could deliver, so kudos to them."
