PEOPLE ARE FINALLY REALIZING THAT YOU DON'T NEED A SUPER COMPUTER TO DO DAILY THINGS ON. IF YOU REALLY THINK ABOUT IT. IT SHOULD BE HARD TO SELL A NEW TABLET OR COMPUTER TO A PERSON WHO ALREADY HAS ONE. CHANCES ARE THAT THE ONE THEY HAVE NOW IS PERFECTLY FINE FOR WHAT THEY NEED IT FOR.

It has a processor as powerful as the first iPad and twice as much RAM memory. It uses Google’s Android operating system, which now runs on three out of four smartphones and four out of 10 tablets shipped worldwide. Its LCD touchscreen displays full-screen video without hiccups, it browses the web, and it even holds up when playing videogames.

damn, I hope they never sell out to a nation in the West... the 3rd version would come out at 250 dollars and not work as well.

:dead: @ @zerozero being in the 5%

95% of Indians have no computing device.

:wow:
In India, competition for wireless connectivity is so cutthroat that it’s possible to get an unlimited prepaid mobile data plan for $2 a month

Tuli thinks he can eventually bring the Aakash 2 to the US at a $50 retail price, and if trends continue, that price will continue to fall.
