Reasons why Aakash Tablet sucks and is not worth your money

Aakash Tablet is currently the hottest gadget in Indian markets but is it worth the heat ?
The device was brought into the market, by a Korean Company named Datawind affiliated by Indian Government, last year to provide poor students an affordable gadget. with a view that it'd help them better understand the ever changing world of modern technology.




Media, press and several blog entries helped Aakash become an over-hyped product and as a result, January and February editions of the Tablet have been booked already.


Is it worth it your money ? 

I would say no because the device's specifications resemble that of a cheap tablet made in China plus it has several software and marketing issues.
  • The 336 MHz processor is not sufficient to provide a smooth multitasking experience.
  • The resistive touchscreen is not too responsive when touched with stylus. 
  • It doesn't has access to Android market, doesn't support hardware upgrades. 
  • It doesn't even has speakers, to listen to audio you must purchase an external audio device with 3.5mm jack. 
  • It can connect to Internet but only via Wi-Fi which is so rare to those poor Indian students that Aakash tries to target. 
  • I don't see a reason why anyone would want to buy Aakash Tablet for themselves. 
  • The design itself is weird, not like a modern gadget and sports a huge Aakash logo on the back. I'd be embarrassed to carry it in public with that logo on the back.

If I were to buy an Aakash Tablet, I' would hang it on a wall to use it as digital photo frame. I don't see this device doing anything more than that.
