  • review: youtube d0t c0m /user/VentureBeat/search?query­=aakash

  • check out this independent video review of this Indian tablet...

    most reviews reveals that this device is definitely functional... its not an iPad (not is it meant to be in the first place)... but its DEFINITELY FUNCTIONAL as far as rural Indian student are concerned... the latest version has a GPU too... the device specs (very impressive for the price tag) are available here: ubislate dot com/specifications.html

  • 1.made in usa

    2.made in china

    3.made in japan

    4.shit

    5.made in taiwan

    6.made in india

  • @blaugranelona aah you must be confused

  • China Software + Hardware !!!

  • FREE LAPTOP FOR YOU!

    LAPTOPS4FREE . NET

  • The Engineers in India can create a Tab for under usd100... what does that say about the ipad2....?

  • WOW! Is this true? If this amazing tablet is real, many poor people in the developing world will benefited by this advanced communication and information technology for sure! Great jobs, dear Indians! :)

  • Are you dumb? Its an android tablet

  • yet my 1gb ram netbook without touch cost £275

  • @iamgig9876 Since when did suicide bombers come from India, dumb ass? You're confusing the Middle East with South Asia. Hope you get your head out of your ass.

  • @Dzongka they are all the same brown people, if you mean the south india well they are dark skinned so doesnt matter its just a matter of time before the strap goes in and mass converts to energy...

  • 2 gb ram and $ 35, in newegg a pc 2 gb ram costs 20$....

  • When they get an os they gonna boost the price signifacantly

  • A tablet is a tablet; a laptop is a laptop. This is a tablet. India could use these as part of their rural communications system too along with the phone.

  • this achievement is go to our iit students!

  • OMG there isn't a picture of an Apple on it... this sucks!

  • This is something unheard of in the U.S. In India the companies focus on making things cheaper for their people but here in the U.S our companies focus on how can they make it cheeper for them selves but raise their prices way high to increase their profits. We have more profit driven thinking rather then consumer driven.

  • Where can I get one....

  • this is a great breakthrough past $ wall that divide's our world, empowering young minds

    to greatness! manufacturer is moot, design and price are huge boon to all

    excellent news!

  • please relax listen learn accept

    here, or anywhere. try to be of help

    to others, we all are searching for same things really. no fear or challenge required

  • @thakurpriti007 i want to purchased it from market means i pad how could i do//////////

  • is it available in Pakistan ? i wana buy it.

  • you guys don't realize what it is meant for . Its not to compete with sleek devices sold in western countries . It is meant to be manufactured and distributed to students across the country . 

  • Comment removed

  • omg, it is better than my gaming desktop ohyeah

  • Dose anyone know when this will be released to buy and where can you buy it from.

    also is the cost to buy $35 or to make? :)

  • I heard that itz

    1. 256mb RAM

    2. 2Gb i. Memory

    3. 32Gb expandable mem.

    4. HD videos and movies

    5. 2G,3G and Wi fi

    6. Android 2.2

    7. And big screen even for gaming.For just 35 $.

    Is it true?

  • I hope they sell it here!!

    I've always been infuriated by the ridiculously overpriced tech the other companies like apple sell withouth ever dropping the price, even years after a product first launch!

    I'd buy it just to piss off those greedy companies

  • Yea cauz I want to buy a lap top by that guy

  • @TheNickloyd You'd rather buy an overpriced one with the tag 'Pad' after it. Makes sense. You're american, I get it. What about unpriveleged kids in rural India who can hardly afford to buy a computer ? I'm sure they'd pick this over rip offs like the iPad.

  • @TheNickloyd u racist prick dat dnt even make sence !

  • hmmmmm, love the price!

  • I can get something like this made from china for probably cheaper

  • @sf49ersrule thn y did u watch dis video?? go n watch a video of china laptop

  • @dharmesh2706 just saying, it's not "groundmaking" or "innovative" jut because Indians made it...

  • @sf49ersrule thn wat's innovative?? a 800$ ipad??? 1500$ macpro??? 2000$ alienware???

    did ever apple manufactured an ipad for lower class of society???

  • @dharmesh2706 im saying it's not innovative because I can find something cheaper like this from China... stop being ignorant and read my comment in the first place.

  • @sf49ersrule

    Is the Chinese company planning to release it for everyone?

  • @wiigamer136 lol, you can find hundreds of things like this in online chinese stores... I'm Indian btw, incase anyone is wondering.

  • @sf49ersrule

    Thats true.

  • @sf49ersrule

    dude... i dont think even a chinese tablet under $35 is available... had this been the case, the markets would have been flooded with such chinese tablets... i think the device is definitely innovative... take a look at the specs...

  • This thing is even cheaper than a 3DS game.... Damn those things are expensive !

  • im sure this has a procesor of like 0,1 ghz and like 20 mb harddrive

  • i don`t know why people are comparing it with ipad .. ipad is for commercial purpose and has tons of features this machine will never have .. this is a low cost machine developed by Indians to make technology accessible to every one .. initially it will be available only to students and probably letter will be made available to rest of the population.. might be useful for some other countries in africa and asia too ..

  • @umrangsoiscool Yeah tons of features for $600 or more. No thanks!! Keep believing your Apple BS. Just like people still pay for and use MS when Linux is already out there. I use laptops that run on Ubuntu for free. This machine might be cheaper but not hardware, its still made in Taiwan. It is cheaper because instead of being greedy it was written by students to help people not to make someone into a billionaire.

  • totally agree with this guy!...brand names are price tags (apprently 600+) lure people into believing if they own some costly device they have something of quality. its utter BS! they are the ones who are brainwashed by advertising. lol. think for your self people dont let the brands think for you.

  • @umrangsoiscool Just like MySql used to be out there but companies paid millions for Oracle. Oracle or some MS corporate search engine is 100K or more, but just for prototype purposes my team developed a open source solution using Lucene/Nutch with better performance. But instead of savings costs our company disbanded out team. It's all politics, keeping money in higher circles, that's all. Companies are buying high priced products, getting kickbacks, and then claiming it on

  • @umrangsoiscool taxes. Which again me and you pay. Ex: Financial company X pays software company Y for a product a few millions. The executives of Y get kick backs from X. Then they write it off on their taxes saying these are operating expenses, and reduce their corporate taxes. It's all a wonderful game, and people still buy into it. Just like gas prices, speculators raise it, not the supplier or the people demanding it. Just like the betting on home mortgage. Where do I stop:)

  • China's been doing the same shit for years.

  • @aritra245 your comment was just contradicted by this video.

  • @Fathima798 25 million people own an iPad, that doesn't seem like a handful to me. Business officials? I'm thirteen, and own an iPad. Well, I wasn't able to make out what you said in your final sentence, I'd better leave that to yourself to figure out. And finally, please go to elementary school, your grammar's killing me.

  • @hridaygoku

    you may have an ipad my dear... but be happy for other less fortunate ones who can't...

    why this comparision with the iPad?! iPad is cool... but this device is not a luxury device.. itsa basic computing device... i still have a computer running Pentium-1 133MHz processor, 64MB RAM, and 2GB hard disk... it runs on a stripped down linux... and it works great! this tablet has better specs than my old computer! i dont see any reason to ridicule it... as long its functional, go for it!!

  • @depender firstly, a tablet's BASIC functionality is way beyond the outdated tasks you mentioned; Secondly, half the tasks you mentioned weren't mentioned in this video; To top it all of, this things low end specifications don't seem to be anywhere near the iPad's.

  • lol i want one

  • I WANT IT NOW!!!

  • Holy Shit! Its Tirdy - Five Dollars!

  • Cheap indians hahaha we win.

  • @TheWayshowerTube do u think u guys r smart?? come on!!!! Indians want thier fellow ppl to be treated equally. how many ppl have the ipad only a hand full and for ur information this laptop is for school children not for buisness officials and we do have better ones for them. thinks those Indian' intelligence who have thaught of such an innovative idea which no country has thaught of..... write ur comments carefully!!!!!!!!!

  • Haters Gonna Hate.

  • @cse0547 WHY all hindi speak english???

    do you hav own language ??

  • @HALILYILMAZ2010

    Why do you care about the language , People can try to express themselves in any language possible, I know Hindi ,Telugu ,English, learning French , Russian , Spanish .

    All i see you is as a prick who has yet to open your mind into a broader view,Other than thinking of some stupid shit. Please start doing it now ... EVOLVE .

  • Comment removed

  • is it for sale anywhere!?!?

  • I think Steve jobs needs to start looking for another job.

  • teh chip, processing and connectivity costs $35. so its expensiver..

  • why are americans such capitalists?

  • @dekenukenn yes

  • FFFFAAAAAAKKKKKEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!­!

  • @CT27NX its not fake it is coming ! and im gonna buy one !

  • @gunzidiot frankly, fingers crossed :D

  • @CT27NX - Dunno if u r from India or not, but that was cabinet minister Kapil Sibal talking to the press (in the end). So THIS NEWS is definitely NOT FAKE. It will probably be used for education so I doubt if you will be able to buy one on the market. If you do - after marketing, distribution, profit margins etc - the cost can be much higher. (In fact in the NDTV interview he clearly says that - at the moment they do not have any plans to profit from it. Just to use in educational institutions).

  • It looks like Android OS.

  • @TheEuroAussie Its linux based system

  • I'm sorry everyone, but "35$" will not be the selling price.

    That is how much it cost them, don't get me wrong that's amazing, but a lot of people think they'll be able to get it for that price.

    Unless you plan on assembling yourself, and buying millions of each part that goes into the tablet (to get cheap bulk rate) then you will not be paying 35$ for the tablet.

    Sure there will be exceptions, but the actual MSRP will be more than 35$, maybe not much more....but more.

  • @TheEagleabel33

    No. It is going to sell for $50 according to Engadget. The Indian government will subsidize it and slash the price to $25

  • @wiigamer136

    Why did you say "No" I said it wasn't gonna cost 35$

    The 25$ is subsidized for students only, not for retail sale.

  • I NEED THIS NOWWWWW!!!

  • Well, at least its better than making bow and arrows. I think I'll buy one.

  • watch?v=tdGowVXNeiQ&NR=1

    another review &&  it runs on android os

  • They failed to accomplish that, again, and you can expect more later.

  • 0:53 whatever he did with his hand there was epic

  • I have 35 dollars with me right now, where's the laptop!? xD

  • That's all nice but the video fails to answer a key question... Will it blend? :P

  • Current laptops are priced more than double their actual cost so its really cool india is taking these steps in computer and automobile industries.

    Software especially is the most overpriced bullshit.

    Theres free alternatives to every piece of software. Its like someone telling you can have this car for X price or a decent car for free , knowing full well i wont be using the car for very long.

    Those software producers are still living in the 19th century.

  • can i watch porn on this?

  • This thing is clearly a piece of crap. Did anyone see the user interface? Looks like garbage. What is the usability like? Does it even have apps? Total joke. And how is the whole thing $35 and price is $35? This company isn't making a profit?

  • @SunriseInTheMidwest Well what exactly do u expect for 35$ m8? An Ipad? This thing regardless of its looks can still perform all the basic functions you'd need from a portable pad. Plus all these hi end tech gadgets out there probably only cost 20% to make and the rest 80% goes to the company and a small share from that to its dealers. Its the money you pay for the brand name that makes it costlier.

  • @SunriseInTheMidwest No its been built by students of IIT, not a company. The government is funding the production phase. Initially, it will be sold only to school kids. It obviously doesn't compare to an IPad. It should be compared to netbooks instead. 

  • damn it  it's cheat haha

  • This is so dumb iPad can print my college papers out wirelessly along with: powerpoints and excel spread sheets. This probably can not. App store for iPad is cool, this has broke apps. Stop being cheap and just save up to get a real one! This thing can't even skype lmao.. what a fail of a device. apple owns as usual.

  • @thaddtaculous You're way too dumb to get this concept. Normal people can't even afford iPads. Go educate yourself

  • @shtml54 lmao there's no time for education when you have billions of apps to look through hahah.

  • @thaddtaculous

    very true , now try talking without the apple cock in your mouth :D

  • Its a government program. There are no profits. They just want to make their students  technology literate and illuminate paper

  • @shtml54 sorry didn't mean to thumb this down

  • 2 gigs of ram for $35? holy shit!

  • ....and parts made in China ;)

  • @jenifer9557

    cuz China is really good at manufacturing devices.

  • ok, KarthikSoun - just fuck off out of my country... and please stop msg about how your country is brilliant - cuz i have this in my ass... imho ur opinion too... BYE! dont msg me more.

  • India is amazing... americans tablets were $400-$450 then $300-$400 then even $200-$300 and India release $35 !!!! and its better then IPAD!!! A full internet browser a PDF reader, Video conferencing support, Word, excel, Office document support etc using Open Office Sci-lab Media Player REmote device management (like remote installations/ wipe) Connectivity: 3.5mm jack, USB, WiFi OS: Linux RAM: 2GB YOU HAVE TO SAY INDIA IS AMAZING!!!!
  • @depender1 let's not jump to conclusions yet. This device has not yet been released.

  • @depender1 i can bet you that is 2 GB of ROM ...not RAM ...

  • @phonecpus

    Nope, RAM.

  • @wiigamer136 hard to believe hence even the most expensive ones have mostly 1 GB of RAM ...but we will see when it comes out !

  • @phonecpus

    Yeah. The IPAD 2 has only 512 mb.

  • @depender1 India isn't amazing - Apple just sucks!

  • @depender1 Stop making other accounts to support your own videos. Besides- you get what you pay for. A peice of crap.

  • @cmd1120 what are you saying mate? check out my profile such things... i dont have enough time to do such things,,, i got work 2 do not lyk u...

  • @depender1 They are not better than the ipad and they are not made in india they are made in china these things are good if you have kids.

  • @manigta seriously? u should go to school again, open ur fuckin eyes and read it u asshole, it says iit engineers from banglore(A CITY IN INDIA) !!!!!!!!!

  • @SuperThommichan U cud believe what you see stupid ass muther fuker they copied them from china dum ass

  • @manigta china doesnt really make anything, designed in usa or any other country MANUFACTURED IN CHINA!

  • @depender1 Better then the IPad? Let's not get crazy. I will say though that it's great that these scientists are working to make computing truly affordable for everyone. Even though 35 - 20 dollars goes a long way for the truly impoverished it is a giant leap compared to what computing can cost today. They should be commended for their work.

  • That looks like a Fake Fucking iPAD

  • More features than an Ipad. :)

  • the two models r different. which one is the 35$ one ?

  • coz its stolen

  • "No word on the software" - screen clearly shows the Android top bar ( 0:26 )

  • @SystemError51 well android is derived from Linux kernel. so any educational institution is able to modify it and program it so that the masses can use the product. Poor people cannot buy a 300$ software so they must have thought about Linux kernel based design.

  • @SystemError51 Good eye, even I didn't see that

  • @SystemError51 could just be used for testing.

  • Is it iPad ...?

  • Co za asy

  • way to go man, put those sons a bitches called apple outa business

  • FANTAASTIC!!!! MIND BLASTING!!!

  • thenoblequran (Ctrl+Enter)

  • Oh and it runs on android so stop calling it a Lookalike ipad!

  • hey all.I think this is going to hit the retail market in mid 2011(may-july).and it would be more expensive like 75$ with all transport and other stuff.

  • does anyone knows when is it going to launch to worldwide?

  • @halo6853 bro apple is smart, flash invites viruses and ads to squeal in to your computer or apple device. Apple was smart for not having it. I sure don't want a virus on my iPad. $500 is awesome for such technology I am happy with the price. You are right though, you pay for the name. BUT apple is the ferrari you pay for the name but you know that the product is going to do just as it is suppose to. This guy made a toyota! Just save up it's well worth it, Apple delivers every time.

  • @thaddtaculous You know it's possible to NOT have flash and NOT drive up the cost to $500, right? In fact, they're outright robbing you.

  • @icarus212001 They are not.. with this mans device I doubt you will be able to replace your textbooks with electronic ones. With this mans device I doubt you will be to have an app that mimics excel, word, powerpoint and can even print documents wirelessly. Do not just look at the price tag, look at what the iPad can provide. I have not bought a textbook yet because of my iPad, notebooks are no longer brought to class because there is an app for lectures. $500 is cheap for such a device.

  • I bet it lasts for a week.

  • Et tout monde travaillera pour un bol de riz /jour.

  • @aritra245, and what u saying? Orange skin color power? You fucking rasists. And next time don't use caps lock, we are not blind like "your sisters and brothers from india".

  • @enter018 So far everyone i have meet from Poland are ill-tempered and raciest like you and that just astounds me!

  • @KarthikSoun You do realise that the person he was racist too was being racist to any non-indian country..

  • @Crxnkz No..Most of the time i have seen polish people on the net they have always started it!! They think acting smart and being a raciest will qualify them as western Europeans too..but in reality western Europeans are very well mannered and they keep to themselves mostly.

  • @KarthikSoun I dont think so i am not racist u idiot... But as u said, that just ur little world..

  • @enter018 The other guy was polite and he even called you dude! Yet you respond to him rudely bring up divisive arguments! What ever man..be your dirty little polish self. We dont care and poland means nothing to us. bye.
