India unveils $30 tablet PC (Android) - India's iPad

[Selpuchureshelper356]

thats pretty cool but i can tell the touchscreen sucks

[Selpuchureshelper356]

the galaxy tab

[Selpuchureshelper356]

i think its like 399 or sumthing

[Selpuchureshelper356]

But it makes me fell stupid buying my iPad

[Selpuchureshelper356]

Yay poor kids can now hav tablets

[ksrnate]

[Blu0tuth0ninja]

gotta love that slave labor over there.

[It4chiAm4t3r4su]

lol, i want this.

[sunilsinghvns]

wow.... i m excited not because of the cheap price of this gadget but because it will bring down the prices of other tablets of well known brands. .....

[thegreatNEb]

It's going to be just like what Adidas are trying to do with the $1 trainers for India.

A product that functions similarly to comparable products from other companies (in this case like the iPads, Galaxy Tablets, and Playbooks of this world), but one that will most certainly reflect it's lower price tag in overall performance.

It will be work like a tablet, but it's going to be quite obvious to anyone who has used an iPad/etc why it only costs $30!

[govindpisharody]

when will dey start distrubuting???

iam impatient

[icaresince1911]

[kingofallguitarheros]

[ingesumadre]

[mygeemail]

@anandpal01

It was made in Montreal. Google it.

Suneet Tuli is CEO of Montreal-based Datawind, which makes the tablets. Parivartan Sharma/ReutersHuman Resources Development Minister Kapil Sibal called the announcement a message to all children of the world.

[pallavi822]

is this ipad available n market??

[NeelPatel664]

I'm an indian trust me this "Indian Ipad" is a fail runs so slow as you download apps and as u use it

[AAInventors]

@NeelPatel664 Are you sure.. are you saying that this Aakash is not worth buying...

[24likan]

1 GHz processor would have been a killer feature

[Sasukekillsitachi]

It nice to see our INDIA moving up, hope this tablet becomes MASS produced so that it becomes available for the STUDENTS and poor people at a cheaper PRICE.

India once again proved how overpriced these IPADS are, destructive american corporation capitalism at its finest.

[The0bruc3z]

luar biasa,kapan indonesia bisa kyak india?

[ehabcharek]

if it only had ubuntu on it...

[raviline1]

where can i get this

[daniel9975516286]

0:53 "this pc does everything your desktop can "

I doubt it ...

[matkakulfi]

I wouldn't mind buying this for my brother as long as he keeps his hands off my toshiba. I am more of a laptop person, tabs are okay for recreational educational purposes. when it comes to some hardcore number crunching nothing beats a lappy

[MrVeljkosrb]

Android 1.6 2.1 2.2 2.3 ?!!

[sahib4552]

@MrVeljkosrb 2.2

[MrVeljkosrb]

@sahib4552

thank you nice bass I thought it was a worse version! :)

[sahib4552]

@MrVeljkosrb first when i hear abt it i thought it might gonna suck but now its news is on high as they are giving it for just 10dollars to students

[MrVeljkosrb]

@sahib4552 Yet India is one of the most powerful country in the world! Maybe a nice little tablet that has been refined and great!

[bindeshkumarsingh]

@WakkoXtreme

Then why did your ancestors theft many things from India? Like you patented Basmati Rice, neem etc your still trying to do idiotic patenting of natural entities!

When they theft stories from our mythologies, books, can't even give credits, trying to make fake Christian Yog etc, what crap you people do always. The amount of gold n diamond British n others theft from India is enough to make you people worlds' poorest. You thieves!! go away...

[bindeshkumarsingh]

Iphone is free in Japan, hahaha what a price!!!! it deserves to be such.

I want this tablet, its name is "Saksham". That means "capable".

[bindeshkumarsingh]

People are talking about IPad here, i am a developer worked on IPad development. IPad is a stupid device i have ever seen. IPad is a best example of proprietary technology. custom ports idiotic software, lacks basic apps which even cheapest Nokia, Samsung or other devices offer. Go to India, Japan or other Asian countries the value of Apple's gadgets will be defined there. What India has made is the call and use of technology, to fulfill the needs of poor & lacking not those who want fun.

[bindeshkumarsingh]

@WakkoXtreme

But we still better than your country where life n relationships are contract. You all are materialistic creatures talking about BIZZ n money all the time. Angry minded ill educated citizens.

[alivefrom88]

Guy's come on now, It's kapil sibal, So you may actually need anna hazare to do another fasting to get the product out from the govt. treasury funding and subsidizer.

[Tibiassasin666]

A Ipad is cool for 6 months, this for 2 weeks. 6 Months are 14x 2 weeks 30 euro X 14 = same price.. :D

[xineo15]

@WakkoXtreme

"Breed the air", I feel we may have the worst education system in the world.

[coronation76]

does anyone remember that 10$ laptop from india that turned out to be a USB device? LOL

[TheVishu27]

Cool!!!But when will it be available

[bonnsn08]

The display looks dull, i guess it's a resistive touchscreen. People who had used a product with a capacitive touchscreen might feel this one shitty.

Anyway its cheap.................. :)

[jeswinsam98]

can u tell when will it reach to india plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­z

[ipatshow]

That's it, I'm moving to India.

[jackclark1981]

@ipatshow make sure to wear a mask of a face on the back of your head when by the jungle.

[danielalien]

Just goes to show that the iPad doesn't HAVE to be that expensive. Obviously the indian copy isn't as good, but the iPad can't be THAT much better. I mean, this one even has a usb port!

[bobbyjava]

@danielalien well dude, if u dont understand everything with a screen and no keyboard is not an ipad alternative then ...... iPad is expensive for right reasons. u dont really think all those people that go and buy ipad donno anything about cheaper alternatives, do u? The screen quality alone is good enough reason for me to pay the price, and is Galaxy cheaper than iPad?

[akira20402000]

india y la re put......... aca en argentina nos dan unas maquinas que parecen un famili game !!!!

[youtubifications]

still unaffordable for me... when will the 5$ Chinese tablets come out ? xD

[OnlyJustUnknown]

Obviously it's not anywhere as good as an iPad or any other tablets released so far, but if it does it's job, then it'd be a great tool for students. In fact, it's good for schools so no student can play Halo while they are supposedly doing their essays in class.

[206ernesto]

i did not get what they were saying!

WTF!!!!

lol.

[Davisrullzs]

0:39 made me lol. Trying to open an email for 4 secs with both hands and failing in the end.

[wiigamer136]

@Davisrullzs

Its a cheap screen. You wouldn't mind for the price! Psychologically you will be rather be enjoying it!

[cyfernet]

this laptop wouldn't sell for this price, that's what i guess because the students laptop which was said to be launched for Rs. 4000 did not have the price to be the same because HCL had launched the students or personal laptop which is a basic netbook type laptop for Rs. 12000. i don't know the price now but still it's kind of expensive when compared to the decided price of Rs. 4000. so when u add the taxes for this tablet computer it could be Rs. 5000 or so, including any price hikes

[calibxxx]

HAHAHAHAH did you see how many times they have to hit each button???????

The reason its so cheap is because it has little to no processing power.

If your buying Ipad, its because you know its the best!

[lostintimeline]

finally an ipad killer that costs only 20 pounds yah.one qs is there a cheaper version? LOL

[homobohemicus]

people complain its not an ipad and what did I do? I tried and bought a Chinese 8" android tablet with a Samsung chip (cant say the brand of the machine I guess) and its great... works fine, the touch is very responsive and its a great excercise tool for a better one to come... Iwont buy an expensive pad till 2012 when most manufacturers will come up with theirs and there would be something to chose from...

[ashutoshkumar91011]

fake. . . .

[DXRunescape]

Im sorry but every ipad coppy is shit idk if you got windows 7 or flash that shit doesnt blong on touch screens anyway

[wiigamer136]

@DXRunescape

Its not a clone. It is for educating the poor.

[9322002898]

gooo go go... when will it launch in markets...!!!!!!! luv india!!! ♥♥♥

[starohbarang]

that is crap

[chanu9]

WELL THE SUN HAS RISEN FOR ALL INDIANS EXCEPT KAPIL SIBAL??

OR WILL HE PASS THE 35$ LIABILITY TO HIS SUCCESSOR??

[USAhockeyGUY]

BEWARE!! FOR THE INDIANS SHALL TROLL HAHAHAHA

[Ibuygou]

i donn't think the 30USD works for an so-called iPad.People will find it useless.even the cost of the screen,of the android is higher than 30USD, quality alwasy comes price!

[Ernests11245]

This aint crap.... if it comes into production and the above mentioned price, it SHOULD be product of the year... well...at least in India

[gone414]

$30 dollars il take one I'm not sure it's that good be hay it's cheap

[TheMisterboss123]

holy shir will buy it

[Softheart15]

im waiting for dis one,

[dateles1dr]

I'd buy one!

[iamthedragonslayer]

@coolknowhow if you say you're smarter, how could you even say those things? you don't even know me.. but as i can see you have no morals! i even praised the invention, i didn't even put something bad about your race!

[iamthedragonslayer]

@coolknowhow y are you even saying bad words? i don't even mean something bad..

[iamthedragonslayer]

i think that's cool but i dont know why i'm scared of indian people

:(

[coolknowhow]

@iamthedragonslayer screw you ou homo masturbating slut im indian and we r fucking smarter then you dumbass hill billys

[MrEVERYDAYSKATER]

Former 3rd world countries are becomming the leaders, I hope for the arrrogant Americans and Europeans that they will not be filled with hate like Americans and the Europeans. I am a European, but ashamed. Congratulations India, continue to amaze the world ;)

[KinliukasLT]

I always says India suck! but now say Indian BEST!!!!!!!

[spenzer12345]

Build proper government schools (they are so horrible), feed the needy(seriously), improve ur roads n traffics(so disgusting), stop corruption at every level(impossible?), stop blaming others(weird Indian), etc etc etc etc etc etc.... Some r good n some r bad, but most r so bad. Urghhh yeww

[elvezs]

Wow iluvswatermelon calm the fuck down.

[leokuan]

and you indians here are going batshit crazy over your stupid government... c'mon. A couple of fresh EE grads could probably lay out the board in a weekend, and there's hardly any code to write, you don't even need to write your own bootloader! I could put a team together and prototype this shit in less than a month, being conservative here of course; and this is your idea of innovation? wake the fuck up india, build some toilets, schools and libraries and forget about showing off to the world.

[leokuan]

time to revisit this interesting piece of news. so, India has discovered the secret art of government subsidy! secondly, they're using all off-the-shelf hardware and software, AND they're getting the Chinese to manufacture the products for them, cool! Seriously, there's something wrong with this picture. A country as big as India can't even make their own PCBs? doesn't have their own little plastic injection machines for making enclosures?

[MrHackman64]

Thumbs up for no reason

[DeathMetalShredd666]

the dumbass indians said the same thing when the made the "world's cheapest car" .. now it costs over 7000 to own, AND the idiots who built the car must have been drunk on cow urine or something because hundreds of cars have already spontaneously combusted (burst in to flames) at random!!

[kunaltoy]

@DeathMetalShredd666 i dont know which country u belong to ........... u should double check your knowledge ...... and there is a space between dumb ass ..... first learn to write u moron

[iluvswatermelon]

@kunaltoy The first word of a sentence is capitalized, "u" is spelled "you" in grammatically correct English, long strings of periods are not considered proper punctuation, and contractions require apostrophes. Way to be a hypocrite and make yourself look like a fucking "dumb ass" (I made sure to insert the space), while trying to insult someone else.

[wiigamer136]

@iluvswatermelon

Do you really care about stuff like "u" and "you". This is youtube, man. Just calm down.

[DeathMetalShredd666]

@kunaltoy

LOL you dumb cow urine drinking son of a prostitute maybe you should go learn english before trying to teach an American how to speak english!!! And just so you know, there is no fucking space between dumb and ass when the word dumbass is used.. go check google u stupid elephantfucker. If you are so intent on grammar maybe you should try and capitalize "u" and "i". What a loser hahahah

[notroll9694]

@DeathMetalShredd666 Actually he should teach you English because Indian English is the new standard English. India has more English speakers than any other country in the world.

[nimbus1950]

@DeathMetalShredd666 you cock sucking motherfucker,i will shot your ass with shotgun,MATHERCHOWD,BHADWE,HIJ­ADE,

thy to know the above words meaning,URINE SUCKING COW

[pranavmalavya]

@DeathMetalShredd666 Hey dickhead , how d ? ... American prostitute supplier ..., last time u ve sent me ur wife but she's 2nd hand .... N her pussy Is too wide like she's getting 10 Indian dicks in kamasutra position .... Ny way send me d quotation of ur female family memers .. Not of ur gay father .... N bth way wats d rate of ur sister .... I'm ready to pay 10 £ for her ... If agree .. Den get d ticket to London ..asap ... Cya ..son of a slut 666

[wiigamer136]

@DeathMetalShredd666

lol, try learning a second language and learn how hard it is to speak in it. Hard, eh?

[DeathMetalShredd666]

the dumbass indians said the same thing when the made the "world's cheapest car" .. now it costs over 7000 to own, AND the idiots who built the car must have been drunk on cow urine or something because hundreds of cars have already spontaneously combusted (burst in to flames) at random!!

[illkillyou]

@DeathMetalShredd666 if you listen to death metal.. your opinion doesn't matter to anyone at all. now go sit in the corner and listen to your shit music while you tear your cock ring out of your pathetic little stub. just because your mom was trailer park whore of the year back in 1992, doesn't mean anybody gives a shit about what her retard kid has to say now. her cock sucking skills have greatly diminished and you will either die alone or learn how to guzzle cock just like your bitch mom.

[naturegoggle]

and they are talking about copywrite???? i dont believe it.

[MsPAL2010]

how to connect the modem 3gp??

[jeffzahnd]

30 dollars for a color device that only lets you look at pictures would be a STEAL!

[TheCactusmitch]

Who is the man in the yellow shirt? I that Babu Mohanan?

[fairyheli2]

$35, damn that's only £20, to put it into perspective an ipad costs £500+

[BboyJae1991]

that is insane price... I won't have to carry heavy laptop anymore?? (i havnt purchased ipad becuz i dont think it worth the money... damn expensive)

[pokemon940]

those jackasses better sell it to us too damnit XD

[ShynePoe33]

they speak funny 

[InfuserGod]

@ShynePoe33 But they can advance our futures with some tight technology, so that's awesome in my opinion.

[prifun]

@ShynePoe33 lol....Because they are freaking Indians like myself!!!!

[send415]

i think hp jacked the this idea :( and made the hp 500

[jdcrispe95]

Perfect for paki porn on the go!

[kurtgainz]

@jdcrispe95 Thats just wrong (lol)

[jdcrispe95]

@kurtgainz haha :P well depends who's reading the comment ;)

[ryanstan1]

it seems like a great idea! where can one obtain this computer?

[saurabhCherished]

@ryanstan1

I think in 2011 it will be available in India.

[n057828]

Yeah right made by the guys who made the games 90 year olds and 6 year olds called the Gpad G is for gay!

[movania89]

[shaider77]

Hurray, India can now clone Chinese Ipad clones.

[rahuldank91088]

to all stupid people who think its chinese and someone here before commented someone in his/her office had one. are you crazy? it hasnt been even released in india let alone somewhere else. also it has been made by teh IIT department ( teh best engineering institue in india and one of teh best in asia).

[Bolaris]

Quantity not quality. Enough said.

[jimbob202019]

Think it will be all over india in 2011 so thats when it will be made public

[jimbob202019]

Everyone should invest in kerala, thats where the money is as its one of the only parts in india that just starting to develop, they said in 5 years india will rival England and the us SOOOO if you buy villas cheap now in 8 years or 5 years your gona have a house worth a fucking bomb :) plus you can rent them out to holiday agents and just sit back and let them do the work.

but its about time they did this, they have been chilling for years, this might just give them a edge

[jimbob202019]

i've got one its pretty fast i bought mine from thrissur uni though in kerala in the south of india last week

i dont understand why its working this well it doesnt heat up and burn my lap it doesnt fall apart & its clear as fuck lol, but fair play india are heading into a big future, saw like people driveing bmw and like the new model cars so something big is starting to happen, You can buy villas with pools that look like million pound homes for £20,000 next years im buying 1 BIG INVESTMENTS

[tausif67]

[bierbuik]

[badezzill]

jknk

[badezzill]

Its in English, yes it is for $35 only but it will not be out for retail, Its purcahsed by the Indian Gov. only for the Engineering students right now, and will soon be for retail as well, but would be more than $35...

[badezzill]

Its in English, yes it is for $35 only but it will not be out for retail, Its purcahsed by the Indian Gov. only for the Engineering students right now, and will soon be for retail as well, but would be more than $35....

[honeygodoo9]

[cyberlord64]

[abh3092]

@perumalsanjeevi --- india does not buy all these components from china as india and china are enemies

[MrPinkyponkey]

suck America

[IPodComputerTips]

@MrPinkyponkey lmao wow...dude our technology is way better, $30 that must be a piece of shit

[JulkerReviews]

@IPodComputerTips Where's the headphone jack in the iPad????????????USB!?!?!?!!!!!­

[Funkopotomis]

@JulkerReviews our lord and savior steve jobs says usb is heresy

[JulkerReviews]

@Funkopotomis but unfortunately there is crappy wi-fi, and no HEADPHONE jacks. APPLE IS SOOOO STUPID. They made the fucking iPod, which had headphone jacks but not on iPad?? Where's the logic??

[Funkopotomis]

@JulkerReviews steve jobs is white jesus. he doesnt need logic.

[TehhCake]

Does it have internal data? (i couldnt watch the video cuz im not allowed to use sound) so it can store apps etc? and if its android is angry birds available? :)

[JulkerReviews]

@TehhCake I should be loaded with the basic essentials for a student, maybe open office, vlc, mozilla firefox, and at least 16 gigs of memory.

[1986capy]

the sun will rise hahahhahahahahahahahahaha

[goku2222222222222222]

@ all who think this is crap

listen people you are getting a tablet pc (not ipad or laptop) for Rs.1500($30) only....and this is made for students not for entertainment purpose so stop comparing it with ipad & other things. & if u think its touch screen is horrible just think its better than keypad. India shines and anti-Indians fuck off.

[doctorpatil]

@goku2222222222222222 please watch all the videos on the Indian ipad or tablet on You tube. You will find out that this is multimedia for education and entertainment..

[565Customz]

@goku2222222222222222 ...hackit and put android on it :D

[rahuldank91088]

@goku2222222222222222 it has 2 gb ram, sd card slot, video output, head phone jack, and you can watch live your professor giving lectures on teh net. it plays movies really smooth and is an excellent device.

[1zacster]

That's the future, tests be distributed on those saving paper and you can use solar cells to power it

[MASTERCHEATER90]

And ofcourse you gotta go to repair it after every hour... sucky..

[totalembarrasment]

@MASTERCHEATER90 TROLL stay under your bridge

[Xb0xH4rdc0r3]

I think this is going to be great for me, I'm starting my GSCE's next year and I find that this kind of device will be a great asset. If it's not being sold in England I will find a way of it being imported, it wont be much and £23+ is worth it :P

[gauthamrmsh1]

the result of a huge potential of mass labour and technical knowledge-- nothing to be surprised of. If a 7inch pad is this cheap, imagine a 3.5inch mobile, with 1/2 the specs...

Its time for india .. :P( like shakira's waka waka ) :D

[sparoooow]

this is Chinese made apad mid that run on android 1.5,1.6,2.1 and windows ce 6.0

its not indian made ...google (7" apad)

[twizy123]

somebody had one of these at work today

it cost him $180 AU (he got it from ebay)

it was pretty bad, slow processor, crap camera, and horrible wifi

if you could get one for $30 AU (he was probably ripped off) then it would be worth it for word processing and basic internet browsing, otherwise get yourself a netbook

[akajayaar]

burrrraaaah chak deo phatteee ,,proud to b an indian

[luongdung]

I'm taking a trip to India

[ishpreetsinghbrar]

even if it sells for $50, its a great achievement.

kudos to iit people.. well done.

[YuuuuGiBro]

When will it come out? sounds AWESOME! :D

[fish0fcook]

thats... amazing.

[Wast3m]

i'd like to see some competition from china. that would be epic! but it seems like they just want to mass produce stuff.

[MrSPAero]

I NEED ONE PLEASE ! I NEED ONE PLEASE ! I NEED ONE PLEASE ! I NEED ONE PLEASE ! I NEED ONE PLEASE ! I NEED ONE PLEASE ! I NEED ONE PLEASE ! I NEED ONE PLEASE ! I NEED ONE PLEASE ! I NEED ONE PLEASE ! I NEED ONE PLEASE ! I NEED ONE PLEASE ! I NEED ONE PLEASE ! I NEED ONE PLEASE !
