Where to buy Aakash tablet aka Ubislate7?

Guys I was wondering government has planned to sell this tablet ubislate7 aka Aakash to students at a cheaper price of Rs1800 or less as compared to shops which sells at Rs3000. But the question here is where to buy it from and what proof to show that I am a student? Anyone here on TDF bought it? If yes at what price because I'm thinking for going for it...

At present, there is no way to buy Aakash IMO.
But you can book it from, How to Buy Aakash Tablet?

And I think, you can call at the toll free number given on their website, for details.

Do tell us, what they say.

I would suggest you to wait for a few days(read months) and check out the Aakash2. The Aakash tab wass not very welcomed by all. May be the latter will . . .

Even I am waiting for Aakash 2 it is expected to launch in February 2012 after considering limitations of Aakash 1..........

limitation or humiliation?

what you want in Rs 3000/- a super computer........

they can at least give their best shot, and make it do a small subset of things, i expect it to be used for videos or text reading, i dont expect it to handle movies or games.

the current one is bakwaas. bad quality materials are used and i heard (cant guarantee the veracity) that it overheats a LOT, so thats another problem.

also, that funny guy also announced a rs 500 tablet, lol, i bet they will give out card pieces with ubislate written on it, and a battery taped to the underside.

For 3000, the only complain I can have is...well I don't want to look like a fool. :))

Comeon guys 3000bucks. Its a 7" tablet, running android 2.2, if it for some reason received XDA support it's going to rock.

Stop complaining guys. There's always the iPad 2 selling for a measly 30k in case the limitation of aaraksh are too much to handle

I shot kill...

this post is nerfed

What is "nerfed"

500 is not possible only when indian rupees is valued very close to US$....

3000 is best deal for a device running Android 2.2....

Nerfed: To make worse or weaken, usually in the context of weakening something in order to balance out a game. (maybe he meant "Owned")

So no news of Ubislate till now! Looks like they missed yet another deadline

Is there anyone who knows the specification?

Is there anyone who really tried the article?

Aakash may come at a lower price, with additional features

no, make it closer to 4-5k, but give it a big boost in features and capability

I pre booked it in feb, but till now no news...so I shed out 3k xtra and got a funbook :-D
