India recently showcased the world’s cheapest tablet PC aakash also knows as ubislate 7 . The cheapest price is the killer feature of aakash tab , but critics are not happy with its hardware specifications and performance and they even questioned the usability of aakash . Now government of India has decided to launch the upgraded version of aakash , the Aakash 2 also called as Ubislate 7+ which will have better specifications than current aakash .
We compared the specifications of Aakash and upcoming UbiSlate 7+ (aakash 2) on key parameters and found UbiSlate 7 quite better than Aakash tablet PC .
1. Processor
Aakash runs on 366 Mhz which is very poor processor speed in today’s world . UbiSlate 7 (aakash 2) on the other hand runs on 700Mhz processor . So with UbiSlate 7+ you will have a double power processor .
2. RAM
Aakash has 256 Mb of RAM while Aakash 2 has 256 Mb RAM with 2 GB internal memory .
3. Operating System
Aakash runs on andoird 2.2 while UbiSlate runs on android 2.3 . With UbiSlate 7+you will have the upgraded android OS
4. Battery
Aakash is powered by 2100 mAh battery while UbiSlate is powered by 3200 mAh , which mean you will have more battery backup with UbiSlate 7 (aakash 2 )
5. Network
Aakash offers WiFi while Aakash 2 (UbiSlate 7) offers WiFi , GPRS with SIM and phone functionality . That means you can use UbiSlate 7+ as phone also .
6. Camera
Aakash 2 has both back and front facing camera , while aakash doesn’t offers this .
7. Price
aakash tablet is available at the price of Rs 2500 while aakash 2 will be available at the price of Rs 2999 , which is quite justified on the basis of newly added features .
Aakash 2 will be available by February 2012 . Aakash is already on sale you can order it for Rs 2500 . Seeing the upgraded features I would suggest you to wait for a month for aakash 2 . I think buying aakash 2 will be a good choice than buying aakash , though you have to pay extra 500 Rs , but you will get lots of better features .
Buy Aakash tab or pre book your Aakash 2

There is No 1 Camera In Both Akash(ubislate7)/Akash2(ubislate7+) Tablets Dude……..
akash is available for student for around 1400 and may we get akash 2(ubislate 7+)for student at cheaper price or will have to book for 3000only?
if we get at cheaper price then will have to book through the college but colleges they are not telling about the any tablet just they are saying to book and we don’t know which one you are selling.
dear abhishek neither aakash nor aakash 2 have any camera you have published this but in reality both do not have any camera. visit http://www.ubislate.com which is for ubislate 7+ better known as aakash 2.
it doesn’t have bluetooth.
but it is a good tablet in that price point so i have ordered it.
During the first press release it was mentioned that aakash 2 has front and back camera , and this thing was there on the official website as well .You can check the press release published at Hindustan times , there also camera was mentioned with its details you can read it here
