Desi Tablet!!

Apple iPad 2 price in India is Rs. 36551/-
Samsung Galaxy Tab price in India is Rs. 32999/-.
Datawind UbiSlate price in India ..::::1750/- ::::...

No a zero is not missing there, also it is not another chinese mobile. It is the Indian govt.'s latest venture to provide tablet PC's at such a low cost. Why are they doing this??
I don't know!!
Seriously speaking the most amazing thing about this is that it costs less than the 16GB memory units installed in the other 2 tabs (A 16 GB MicroSD varies from Rs. 1200 - 2000)
Lets get to the current specs of the tablet

1. 7" Resistive touch screen                                             
2. Wi-Fi
3. 2 USB Ports
4. 2GB internal storage
5. MicroSD slot(expandable upto 32GB)
6. 2G Card enabled with data plans starting from 99/month
7. Android 2.2 OS

7 inch wide screen, wide enough. But its resistive, remember how we hated the resistive touch screen  (http://msgmech.blogspot.com/2011/09/feel-touch.html). Wi-Fi enabled device is a necessity today and the best way to access fast speed internet without the cumbersome wires. 2 USB ports, required to connect Pendrives, or maybe datacards. 2GB internal storage is bad but is expandable so not much of a problem. THE BIGGEST PERK OF THEM ALL IS ANDROID 2.2. Support for 2G cards for internet access. No 3G.

Cost cutting strategies, Difference between 30000 and 1750!!

1. Resistive touchscreen instead of Multi-touch Capacitive touch
2. 2GB instead of 16GB (You can cover that with another 1500 for a memory card)
3. 2G instead of 3G
4. I don't think this covers the gap, Do you???

The only OS today that can even come close to iOS is Android. And you have it in this guys. So cheer up guys you'll get your fruit ninja in this. But you may not like the feel because of the touch. But you saved a hefty sum of Rs. 28,000/- so learn to adjust.
Future plans
The CEO of Datawind claims that with an order of 3Million pieces, it will be able to add a capacitive touchscreen and a 3G modem at the same cost. Solves two of the biggest problems. I think that would be the complete tablet.

So if you go by my advice, Wait for that 3 Million mark!!
