Datawind's famous Aakash 2 tablet that was initially designed to revolutionise education in India is now on sale in the UK under the moniker UbiSlate 7Ci.
The 7-inch tablet is available to order now from the UbiSlate UK website for £30. Not surprisingly, the Ubislate 7Ci's specs are much less impressive than other budget Android tablets, but then it is primarily aimed at bringing the experience of the internet to those who would not otherwise be able to afford the hardware to access it.
The display offers an 800x480-pixel resolution, a 1GHz processor and 4GB of memory, which can be expanded with a microSD card by up to 32GB. It runs a modified version of Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich and is packed with in-built educational apps and games.
Also on sale in the UK are the 3G-enabled UbiSlate 7C+, which costs £50, and the UbiSLate 3G7, which costs £130 and includes a whole year of basic mobile internet, as well as offering a 1.2GHz dual-core processor and a higher-resolution screen.
Tuli first announced Datawind would be bringing the tablet to the UK at the Wired 2013 event in October. At the same time he pledged to significantly disrupt the tablet market by bringing low cost devices to the market that will push out the high end. Tuli pledged that the next Datawind tablet will have a processor equal to the one in the iPad 4.
