Cheapest TABLET "AKASH" !

            Today's topic is on CHEAPEST TABLET having made of india tag,we all feel very proud to know that the cheapest tablet in this world is having MADE IN INDIA tag and for a change it is not having MADE  IN CHINA tag. so once again India has produced engineering marvel to the world,but I can tell you that there can be many such marvels only if our Government strives for it. so surprisingly this tablet is made with the help of Government but if they can achieve this feat then if they work more in this field then for sure it would prove helpful to our nation. so moving on to our topic I would like to say that this seems to be the tablet which being cheaper is having many features which would surprise many I think.
       so moving on lets name features it contains:-



While it was once projected as a laptop computer, it is actually a tablet computing device. At the inauguration of the national Mission on Education Programme organized by the Union HRD Ministry in 2009, joint secretary N. K. Sinha had said that the computing device is 10 inches (which is around 25.5cm) long and 5 inches (12.5cm) wide and priced at around $30. However, he refused to comment as to why was it being projected as a laptop when it was not.India's Human Resource Development Minister, Kapil Sibal unveiled a prototype on July 22, 2010. The price of the device exhibited was projected to be around $35 per piece, gradually dropping down to $20 and ultimately to $10 each.
