Aakash 2 Tablet to be Launched in October

An upgraded version of Aakash—the low cost tablet billed as the cheapest computer in the world for students and the teaching community—is set to be launched in October, 2012.

The improved version is fitted with a faster processor and enhanced battery life among other features.

Soon after the launch of Aakash 1 in October 2011, it faced many a hiccup. Following this, IIT-Bombay was handed over the responsibility of the first phase of the project.
