Finally, the much awaited ‘Sakshat Tablet‘ has been launched as ‘Akash’ for $60 (~Rs. 3000) in India. Akash tablet has been jointly developed by India along with Britain based company Data Wind. The tablet will run Google Android 2.2 (Froyo) and features 7″ LCD screen that operates at 800×480 resolution. The tab has 256 MB RAM and 32GB expandable memory slot along with two USB ports. The Akash tablet will ship with 12 month of replacement warranty. The software supports popular file formats like .doc, .docx, .pdf, .pptx. As we guessed in our earlier post, Akash has 3.5mm standard stereo headphone jack.
The 2100 mAh battery will last for about 3 hours depending upon usage. There are few pre-loaded apps. Unfortunately the tablet won’t be able to download apps from the Android market place. The tablet will be priced at Rs. 3000 and expected to hit the retail stores in November 2011. The Indian Government will acquire the tablet from Data Wind for about Rs. 2250 and make it available to post-secondary school students in the first phase. In case you’re wondering, yes the tablet has GPRS and WiFi IEEE 802.11 a/b/g.
