Aakash Tablet Review

With the growing market of tablets all around the world,India is also expanding in its own way.Aakash Tablet-the cheapest tablet right now in the market.The student edition
which we got is loaded with application and features.You name them and it has all of those features to entertain you.With an Android 2.2 OS, it has a very good user interface.

Though its cheap and is gaining a good market in India,the Aakash tablet comes with its bad sides as well.-

• The screen is unresponsive.Sometimes I really had to hit hard on the screen to get response.
• A major problem is that it really gets heated up very fast,which is a major disadvantage in the Indian market.
• The tablet also failed to load anything from the Android App market.
