Competing against any Indian govt. made or proposed or supposed model of any kind of innovative technology is easy to compete against. This is primarily because, the decision makers are nearly of 60+ years age and do not have the time to even check the native apps on their own mobile phones. But, they have the ultimate magic wand of deciding which kind of technology is easy to use and which is much easier to produce and market for the already cheap-products-in-need-and-used Indians. In addition to the already present, subsidized education grants(which are highly ineffective), the proposition to provide educational tablets to school children has elicited a mixture of responses.
But, as soon as Indian Government decided on specifications and reviewed Aakash’s prototype, the Canadian company DataWind has started producing more than 7,000 tablets per day in it’s Hyderabad center. Even though the mass production has not yet started productively to cater to millions of people interested, Aakash tablet will not hit the markets until they are first distributed to the educational institutions which are listed by the Indian Government. That’s where Reliance’s 4G tablet comes into picture.
So, what are the specifications of Reliance 4G Tablet manufactured by DataWind?
The specifications of Reliance 4G tablet are quite unclear now. But, when compared to Aakash tablet, we can hope that the new tablet will host a longer battery life and a capacitative screen. As we have early reviewed the Aakash tablet and as it constitutes a resistive touch screen which takes a little time to adjust to, for fast and frequent users, it is quite enough for people who are handling a touch screen for the first time.
Reliance 4G tablet will be priced at Rs.4,000 – Rs.5,000. That’s a very nominal price for a 7” tablet and it will definitely go down into millions of peoples’ hearts and pockets as well.
Reliance 4G tablet is supposed to be released for the public in the last quarter of 2012. So, until then we need to keep our fingers tied expecting how it would look like and what the experience of working on that tablet would appeal us to be.
