Now, when Aakash tablet has finally been made available for sale online and UbiSlate is available for online pre-booking, most of the users are some how confused about the difference between Aakash Tablet PC and UbiSlate tablet. We can also blame the company as well as Indian Govt. for this confusion. This is because at the time of launch, people just came to know about one name i.e. Aakash Tablet. However, Aakash tablet was subsidised as it was targeted to be a students model of the tablet. However, subsequently, company DataWind and Indian Govt. started taking different Aakash tablet models which they wanted to sell in the retail market ( i.e. non-student model). Now, obviously, retail model was not be subsidised as company would like to make some profits as well which could only be possible by keeping retail model as a separate and non-subsidised. Then, it was named UbiSlate to keep it separate from Aakash tablet and to give some more value for additional money being spent by retail customers, company decided to put some additional features in the retail model. So, although UbiSlate or UbiSlate 7 model of the tablet is built on the same architecture and hardware, it however differs slightly on technical specs and have some additional features. So, if you are also one of those who wanted to buy this world’s cheapest tablet but somehow feeling confused between Aakash tablet vs Ubislate Tablet, then you can check below the comparison between Aakash tablet and UbiSlate 7 Tablet to see and understand their technical specs and features.
