I will wait for tablet from reliance!!!
it would have been better if it had capacitive touch screen.
will bump the price bigtime. then add a slightly faster processor & half a gig ram and you are nearly stepping on an 'usable' tablet's price.
Desi tablets suck. That's it. Don't waste money on these.
avoid! avoid!
will wait for 4G tablet from Reliance for 5k now

this.
All I want is a tablet, which can be used to show a slideshow of the pics which I took on lets say a marriage party, and to play 480p vids.
Can't a "Cortex A8 – 700 Mhz" tablet do that?

Pre Booked the Ubislate version. 700mhz processor gives some peace atleast. This being my first tablet, something is better than nothing.
I booked it a week back and just received an email with my booking id.
Nice thing is the Aakash (no EDGE and lower spec) tablet seems to be selling with Cash on Delivery option.
I hope same is available for the Ubislate7 that I booked (the higher spec one).

I want a value for money TAB with EDGE/3G support, so i can surf net at Rs.99 for 6GB on Reliance network.
then u can go for ubislate7. it supports GPRS where as Aakash tablet wont.
I don't think we'll get any good Custom ROM's for this tablet
expecting too much from a 2.5k tab

I wish I didn't book it, after reading/viewing the reviews and all.
^^ It's not like that you have also paid for it!
You can refuse to pay when the item delivers hence cancelling the order!! Can't you?

can we download android application from market? Any cons of this tab?
A
Looks like yes.
Let's say, the reviews have just mentioned some problems with the device which are actually common: heat up, double taking to get icons active, customer support number doesn't work, lower quality under the hood, etc. That gets things quite dicey, not totally killing yet.
Read reviews on ibnlive and one on Rediff. They are reasonably scathing.
did any one receive aakash tablet till yet....?

My apologies.
efytimes seemed something one can't rely upon.
the way companies are pushing tablets, a price war is in order soon
Anyone got any calls from them for those who booked that ubislate on their website?
^^ Not me. I havn't even received any comunication for Aakash tablet, which I booked on November. Nor did I receive any for Ubislate+.
is it worth spending money on these tablets? Today first time i used my friend's reliance tab. But i get bored in 1hr. Its just like mobile. Just for fun how anybody can spend huge money on tabs. I was planning to buy tab, but now m confused should i buy tab or notebook?
^^ Its simple actually.
If you can afford a mid range or high tab, there's no point in buying such a low cost tabs, which is not designed for "entertainment" purposes.
Personally, I would like to have one such low end tab, since I can't afford a mid range one for atleast a few months.

same prob wid me, i cant afford costly tab. want to buy a tab withing 10k. But after reading reviews of these tabs, m getting confuse.
I m going for a Chinese one from eBay. Cost Rs 4320. 1 GHx. Android market app and flash support. 2USB ports
And a LAN port which is what I need.
Akash doesnot have Android market app and 700 MHz speed. So I think the Chinese one is better than Akash.

^^Aakash tablet doesn't support Android market since, it doesn't support SIM cards.
But Ubislate 7+ which is an upgraded version of Aakash (now renamed to Ubislate, btw) does support SIM card, hence it should contain support for Android market.
(I am not sure, but it "should").

which tab you r talking about? Any review ?
I would go for an Ultrabook instead.
You can get bored with your computer if you don't install games or don't have internet.. use TAB for its possibilities and every other day you will find it interesting..

i want a tab basically for surfing net, and with lots of interesting APPS. From last one year i'm using nokia 5230 with CFW and using reliance gprs which giving 3g speed from last 6month. And i use my cell like TAB
installing apps, net surfing, watching HD VIDEO, playing games, using like 3g modem to pc. Reading online newspaper, social networking sites and messenger like nimbuzz, whatsapp etc. I never got bored with my cell. Its 1yr old now. Only i hate its small screen, and lil slow in ram, as its just 466MHz. And ya big drawback no front camera, so no video call. thats why i want a cheap and value for money tab. Guys any suggestion under Rs. 10k ?

Just wait for the 7 inch version of Asus Transformer Prime. It is being priced at $250 by Asus.
Ubislate 7+ will not support Android market app. It will support getjar app.
READ THIS *ubislate.com/faqs.html
Thats why I dont want the Ubislate now. I will pay 1K extra and get much better specs. Camera, CPU, RJ45 and Android market.
This one
7" Android 2.3 latest ver. Tablet 4 GB****LATEST VERSION AT CHEAPEST PRICE****** | eBay
The ebay link I gave will do your job I suppose as compared to Akash
Else you can go to iberry or Beetel Magiq if quality matters.
A
this time money matters. only want to read books and listen songs.in train. want to utilize my time. books too heavy to carry. also in evening have no sufficient light. you know condition of general passenger trains in india.
Then go with the chinese one. It has 1 yr or 6 months sellers warranty. I will buy sometime later coz exam ahead
That's just sad!
Was expecting a lot from so called, "upgraded" version of Ubislate!
Upgraded. What is upgraded other than CPU, battery and RAM. CPU 700 Mhz for a 7" screen is still slow. Ubislate cost 3000. There is company's profit, dealer's share etc etc. What will be its manufacturing cost? 1000/1500. They are providing 1yr warranty in this "bound to have problems" Tab. Till now no confirmation of release date. I booked in first week of Dec. But no news till now. Just a few updates on their Facebook page. From this scenario we can imagine what will be their servicing like.
But one good thing is clear about Ubislate is that it will have developer support just like in case of Android phones with so many people ordering it.

What has a SIM card slot got to do with Android Market?
*st2.gsmarena.com/vv/pics/samsung/samsung-p1010-galaxy-tab-wi-fi-1.jpg
This is Samsung Galaxy Tab P1010. There's no SIM Card slot in there.
^ ^ wouldnot it be good if you can send sms direct from your tablet. And GPRS. SIM card is needed for GPRS.
iBerry is good though I read somewhere that they dont support some 3G dongles available.
But does other tabs support all dongles. So you can go for it. It has warranty and specs also look good. The higher model also support 3G and 2G SIM

same what i want,,,
iberry????????????/ hwz that?

What has a SIM card slot got to do with Android Market?
As bubusam also said, I meant, GPRS from SIM. Btw, tab won't require SIM if it uses WiFi. But IMO, SIM is the only way for cheap internet connectivity. And hence to access Android market.
Since Akash is targeted towards rural India, SIM is necessary. And would also benefit to those who dont have wifi.
R
Hey I have booked in the January slot...........Any idea when they will dispatch?
Of Course, it would be good. So what?
I was questioning the above statement Vyom had made. However, He might not have intended to say that SIM card is necessary for Market. Nonetheless, that's what his post meant.
Never Mind!
Did anyone have any idea whether we will get the tablet we booked? Or did they dropped the project? For those who booked Did u get any calls or email about the same? 
Project is not dropped. The Aakash scandal is on its way. As per my knowledge emails from datawind will come at Feb and delivery will be from March. Since there is a huge demand of Aakash.
I have dropped all hopes for getting this tab. If the delivery is so lame, god knows what will be the after service.
same here...
was too excited after its launch but after reading users posts and review, i will cancel my pre-bookig....
