World's cheapest tablet low cost secrets unveiled.

Come November and cheapest tablet in the world Aakash  is to hit the store shelves.When we think of buying it, pause for a minute and hear the review of CNN IBN which might make you to think twice before buying it.


Making a tablet for Rs 3000, no doubt brainiacs from IIT Rajasthan found out the hard way,its a great think to make a cheap tablet but this alone does not make it a good product.
The tablet comes with a resistive touch which makes it unresponsive and not that friendly running on android Froyo not Gingerbread.The student edition does not support 3G though it has Wi Fi.You can use USB dongle provided they give additional support.Tablet comes with 2 USB ports.Another major problem with this is overheating even in airconditioned rooms,this can be attributed to poor design and cheap components.Aakash tablet reads pen drives, it will read file formats natively supported, which is pretty limited with stock Froyo. Common formats like AVI and FLV are not playable on the stock player which is something we’ve witnessed on most Android phones as well.he battery life seems to be really poor as well, 3 hours isn’t exactly ground breaking.

Now moving deeper into internals there are even more disturbing facts.The components used can be purchased off the shelf, which is not really surprising given it was built by students. The worrying bit is the way everything is put together. Components and wires are held in place by simple electrical tape and the quality of wires appears to be cheap. The chassis itself is very flimsy and delicate so spending a bit more for that pouch doesn’t seem like a bad idea, at least when you drop it, all the bits will be in one place.


The tablet designed by students, for students; doesn’t seem like a very good investment at the end of the day.It evident from the review that the we are not going to get the whole lot of work done.

Apple had alleged that HTC, by the way of the Android software used on its smartphones and other devices, had infringed on the patents owned by them.Search giant Google, who’s also the name behind the popular Android OS has joined forces with HTC against Apple.



     Initial stages of the lawsuit sought a sales ban in the U.S. of HTC smartphones running Android.If HTC smartphones are indeed banned from selling in the U.S. then the consumers there would lack choices, as far as smartphones go, which wouldn’t be a very good thing,Google said in a report.The report further revealed that Google, in support of HTC and its own Android platform approached the U.S. International Trade Commission with the above plea. The report further quoted Google as saying that reducing the access points for a consumer would invariably peak up prices, thereby stalling innovation.


    Google strongly believes that HTC is one of the most promising smartphones brand today, and it can potentially prevent Apple’s iOS from becoming the sole viable mobile platform, the report further quoted
