'Aakash' tablet to reach Pune after Diwali

India’s very own low-cost tablet, named Aakash, was launched amidst much fanfare, sometime last week in the national capital. This move by the government earned it a lot of admiration from tech enthusiasts and the layman alike, since it looked at making the larger picture bright, i.e. improving the quality of education in the country. Now, while everyone across the country is anxious to own a unit of the low-cost tablet ($35), a report in the Times of India confirms that those in Pune eagerly waiting for the tablet to reach a store near them would have to wait till the end of November to see that happen. Reportedly, the manufacturer's hands are full with the manufacturing of 100,000 units of the Aakash tablet for the government, and only then would they take up newer retail orders.
