Why not earphone and 3.5 jeck in penta T-pad tab..is available or not say me plz. i m music lover

wrong information. datawind is very much associated with the aakash project. see http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/hardware/aakash-2-tablet-pc-datawind-eligible-to-bid-in-new-tender-says-kapil-sibal/articleshow/12007546.cms
IN TERMS OF TECHNOLOGY, UBISLATE7+ IS MUCH BETTER
Ubislate7+ (upgraded aakash) has a much faster processor. The real speed of the processor of bsnl tablets is between 533Mhz to 800 Mhz, not 1Ghz (see chart on the chip-maker's website: http://www.infotmic.com/cn/products_xpxx2.asp;

so 1Ghz is only obtained by overclocking – which won't be sustainable). More importantly, their device is on Arm-11, whereas Ubislate7+ is on Cortex A8. The Cortex A8 architecture is 2x faster than Arm 11. So a Cortex A8 – 800 Mhz processor will perform at the same as a 1.6GHz – Arm-11 processor. The bsnl processor is only equivalent to 300 to 400 Mhz in Cortex A8 terms

Samrath,

Thanks for posting the link to the news. The news nowhere states that DataWind is associated with the Aakash-2 tablet. It just states that it will be allowed to participate in the bid (just like other participants).

Read this: http://www.zlobber.com/resources/10024-Aakash-A-lot-confusing-information-from.aspx. This company did not follow any professional business ethics in Aakash tablet project.

Hi Tony
you know why datawind won the tender in the first bid? this was because it has 18 patented technologies which enables it to deliver such a device at such a low price. competition is always welcome.....but it remains to be seen whether any other company can do what datawind has done.That is why the govt cannot divorce Datawind as was flashed by a lot of media channels seeking to sensationalise non-issues. The correct news, hardly anyone posted.
Infact the companay has been getting international recognition for the same.

Samrath,

Thanks for sharing the information. I would be more than happy to publish another blog if you can point me to authentic sources of information that show the merits of the company.

Most of the blogs are written without really seeing the product. Same is the case with me. I paid the money but have no way to track my purchase. The whole pre-booking process is a mess. I wish the company had handled this in a more professional way. On the first hand, why did company accept millions of pre-booking orders from every kid in the world? I am sure not even 5% of those people are really going to buy it. Most of them did the pre-booking just because it does not cost anything to try.

Instead, if DataWind had allowed only genuine buyers to do the pre-booking by taking money in advance, this would have been a much smoother process.

If you can share any additional information about DataWind and the quality of the products, please share. I will be more than happy to publish the information.

Why no Ear phone jack in penta T pad? How can we hear the music without a headphone? I think they failed in this alone.

Samrath,

I appreciate posting the link. I appreciate providing us additional information.

Why do you think the pre-booking system of Aakash tablet is such a mess? Why the company is accepting thousands of pre-booking orders everyday but do not deliver the product?
