Dear all,
At last it seems there is some light at the end of the tunnel! The HRD Minister claims the Aakash 2 tablet will be made available to all the stakeholders of higher education soon whith some upgraded features... Here is the news:
Hyderabad: An upgraded version of Aakash — the low cost tablet billed as the cheapest computer in the world for students and the teaching community, is set to be launched “very soon”, HRD Minister Kapil Sibal said today.
The improved version is fitted with a faster processor and enhanced battery life among other features.
“Now, Aakash 2 has been rolled out with battery life of three hours, 800MHz processor, providing internet access everywhere and it has a capacitive screen. The process to distribute this device has begun and it would be formally launched very soon,” Sibal said here.
Sibal had announced in June that 100,000 upgraded Akash-2 tablets will be given to engineering colleges, for which deliveries were expected to begin in July.
Soon after its launch in October 2011, Aakash faced many a hiccup. Following this, IIT-Bombay was handed over the responsibility of the first phase of the project.
