After fighting criticism coming in from most quarters over the poor performance of the Aakash tablet, both in terms of its build quality and usability, the government today revealed that a better version of the tablet is expected to come out in April, this year. HRD Minister, Kapil Sibal who has been the force behind the entire project was quoted as saying, "In order to cater to the huge demand, we need several manufacturers to manufacture Aakash. We are enhancing the specifications on the basis of feedback we have received from the first version of Aakash.
