Indias Low-Cost Tablet To Get Test Market In Philadelphia Schools?

ubislate-71The saga of India's "$35 tablet" is long and slightly disappointing. While the idea of low-cost, standard hardware to be distributed in needful communities is a great one, the fact is that the device itself is more or less junk. Poorly built, with a small battery, outdated OS, and low-quality touchscreen, the Aakash has not had a good reception among people who care about such things.But it's only the beginning of the road for this type of device, and DataWind, the company that made the Aakash, has already announced the follow-up — and now they're considering expanding the market to the US. A pilot study may be in the works for under-served schools in Philadelphia.
