Hard to pin down. Racklever is trying to make it a commercial page. Someone need advise him to control his zeal. There are a lot of other than positive feedback in the media about its utility, from vaporware to useless to trash and junk. Its not a Huge government project. The government has contributed little financially and it seems a lot more about hype than reality. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikieditorin ( talk • contribs) 05:46, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
Tablet & keyboard in wallet ? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7864806.stm
"... motherboard, its chip, the processing, connectivity, all of them cumulatively cost around $35, including memory, display, everything"
http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSSGE66M01120100723
Sounds like a list of parts costing $35 in volume & they're looking for a partner to make it for <$100. Good luck !
USB hard disk + (media player ?) + content ?

Just a website ?

Or is it another typo - not $35 but $350 ?

I cannot find an official website for this huge government computer project. Is there one? It seems like the kind of product for which there would be a website, even if that site is not in English. Blue Rasberry (talk) 03:20, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

I believe UbiSlate is another name for the same device. 62.232.250.50 ( talk) 11:36, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
I can't find more detailed information, but it's also supposedly going through quality testing for prolonged heat exposure. [1] - Legaia ( talk) 22:14, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
The article currently has image of the prototype. We need to update it to a image of the actual released version of the product. Abhishikt ( talk) 02:21, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
A $35 tablet available to Indian Students is a true turning point in accessibility of Educational Content to common Man and Woman. This can and will be leveraged to improve lifes. I am wondering, if there is educational content available to be deployed on Aakash and how is that accessbile? Also, what is the target student segment for this tablet? Is it college students/ High-School or younger students? Thanks for the information. Sachin — Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.145.3.20 ( talk) 11:30, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

The article has no concise overview of the tablet; it starts off in a convoluted recitation of history. 842U ( talk) 22:52, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
History doesnt seem to be written with W:NPOV. Plus, Sakshat was the original version of Aakash. No talk about that too. Needs to be added in for NPOV else current page reads more like a technical specifications page. Veryhuman ( talk) 22:36, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
What is this section? Is it from the tender? Is it the current specs? It seems voluminous... but again carries no explanation of what this information refers to. 842U ( talk) 14:30, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
The new reception section is a significant improvement over the disaster that it was before. Good job. 117.194.195.187 ( talk) 13:14, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
Would someone please wikify this section... in plain English. 842U ( talk) 12:21, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
Ubislate 7 comes loaded with great features at an excellent price of Rs. 3000 only. At this price, one gets the facility of both GPRS and Wi-Fi, which helps you stay connected all the time. It is perfect for 24*7 anywhere web access. It also has the functionality of a mobile phone. The processor speed is 700 MHz which makes it three times that of the original tablet. It has a battery of 3200 maH, and lasts for up to 5 hours. It comes with a headphone/mic plus integrated speaker. - http://www.akashtablet.com/ubislate7tablet.html
...The 1 GB RAM in Aakash/Ubislate7 dosent seem to be true--Ne0Freedom 17:56, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
The Han chauvinist editor Ne0Freedom keeps adding that the device is made in China, citing these references as proof of this assertion [2], [3]. None of the cited sources mention that the device is made in china. Is wikipedia a front for Chinese government propaganda or what? 117.194.201.105 ( talk) 06:26, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
