The Aakash UbiSlate 7Ci is a super-cheap tablet that will attempt to connect every student in India to the Internet.
The latest version of India’s $35 tablet comes equipped with WiFi and has an optional upgrade ($64) of a cellular Internet package of $2/month for 2 GB of data (roughly 25 emails, 25 websites, 2 minutes of streaming video, and 15 minutes of voice chat a day). More importantly, it is expected to launch in India in September 2012.
