New Delhi: Amidst much fan fare, Aakash 2 Tablet has been unveiled. This tablet has been released by Pranab Mukherjee, President of India. It has been manufactured by Datawind, a Canadian Company which has produced Aakash and Ubislate series of devices. The present device is having better features and specs when compared to the predecessor model.

Aakash 2 Tablet has got seven inches screen size and capacitive type of screen. This tablet is powered by 1 Ghz processor. This device is going to be offered to students at subsidy price of Rs.1,130. But the commercial version of the tablet to be made available to the general public will have heavier price tag than this one. Since the tablet has been unveiled, many people are showing interest to purchase this new version of tablet. When compared to the response and bookings of Aakash, the response for this tablet is low. Many people started losing interest in Aakash series of devices, because the first version of the device didn’t reach the expectations and it didn’t get delivered properly.

Speculated news roaming on internet suggests that bookings of Aakash 2 tablet are going to be made available for online pre bookings. But nowhere on the homepage we can find the links for online booking or pre booking of Aakash 2 Tablet. Some other websites have mentioned that Aakash 2 is nothing but Ubislate 7Ci tablet, as its other name. But this tablet is present in the website of Datawind since long back and it should not be the one released just recently. So, we suppose that the details of Aakash 2 Tablet haven’t been updated on the official website of Datawind.

Even after the release of Aakash 2 tablet, there are people who have booked first version of Aakash but didn’t get the device till now. This is the case with most of the people who have booked pre orders of Aakash 1 tablet. Datawind didn’t gave proper responses regarding the shipping of Aakash tablets to many people who have booked online.

Helpline number for knowing the status of Aakash 1 tablet is 1800 1802180. Getting the line connected to this number is itself a nightmare because users, as in most cases, might need to wait for many days altogether. After many trails, he or she can connected to the executives on this number. Even if by chance anyone gets connected to this number, the answer he or she would get is to simply send a mail to perminder@datawind.com (as in many cases). Again, one have to wait long to get response from this email address.
