I just want to know mainly 3 questions about Ubislate7+; that Ubislate7+ is having Android 2.3(Gingerbread) as its OS.

1). Can we the buyers of this tablet,be able to upgrade to future versions of Android?

2). Also,can we download tons of "FREE" applications/tools from Android Space?

3). Moreover the network provision is 2GB for Rs.98/- per month as stated by Datawind.Well,which ISP will be providing that service?

Not sure about 1 or 3 but 2, I doubt it, its a 3k tablet.

But at this price point?
I mean are the operators willing to provide 2GB data usage at Rs.100/- ?

Every one is happy about it.
But there is a very bad news that its delivery got delayed to april..
Those who booked it in december may get it in mid april...
Hope for its coming early..

Its a ok type thing. One thing I cam to know from somwhere it wont have android market app but get jar app for java.

Reliance give 2GB for Rs 51 for 15 days. That means 4GB for Rs 102 for 30 days. I m using this plan in my mobile.

Not necessarily!!!
It's not so easy to deduce in a simple arithmetic way the charges of Internet by operators.
BSNL has a whole lot of head spinning and confusing "tariffs",still I use it.

And about, RELIANCE ???!!!

[bubusam13]

I didn't get what you are talking about. But my arithmetic on internet charges ia pretty simple.

On PC: BSNL EVDO : 2.1 Mbps unlimited download : Rs 650 pm
On mobile : Reliance GPRS : 2GB / Rs 51 for 15 days (I don't even utilize 1 GB in mobile)

My friend has a Chinese 'Dropad' tablet and Moto Droid phone. Most apps are not supported in Android market in the Dropad. But the workaround he use it is that, he first installs the apps on his phone. Then uses 'ES File Explorer' which is a free app to create backup of the app as an apk file. Then transfers it to the tablet and then directly installs it. And all of them work flawlessly.
I think it should work in Ubislate too.

A little correction my Friend,
BSNL EVDO tariff is Rs.750/- p.m. for unlimited download,but Rs.650/- for 5GB(limited),according to BSNL.

I have no intentions to hurt you or your sentiments regarding arithmetic/mathematics.If I do unknowingly, I am "sorry".

I wanted to know,if Reliance is providing GPRS: 2GB/Rs.51 for 15 days,then does it automatically change to a Plan "tariff" of Rs.102/- for 4GB?
I mean do ISP like Reliance or even BSNL/MTNL or Tata, etc. calculates as such?
Perhaps I am unaware.

My friend you don't have full info., this scheme is for the very first few customers. I purchased EVDO in 2008. Then it was in testing conditions then and Rs 550 for unlimited. Then it was increased to Rs 750 and for old customers, it is Rs 650. So mine is Rs 650.

Yes Reliance Rs 51for 2GB for 15 days. you have to renew it yourself again with Rs 51. They don't auto-renew or plan automatically changes. I am using it. Though now I deactivated it as I don't actually need internet in mobile.

I told you I am good in arithmetic

Yes,of course you are!

Aircel still gives unlimited internet for 98rs....
I was also excited about ubislate and pre booked on day 1 but its reviews were bad so i bought a samsumg galaxy y.....

[kg11sgbg]

^^ Thanks pramudit for aircel info.
Reviews were bad on Ubislate7(Akash) Tablet,which most would refer as a prototype rather than the full device/gadget,according to various informations.It was also a developmental device.

Hopefully,Ubislate7+(also called Ubislate2) would be a final product onto itself,when it comes to masses...
But for that price (Rs,2,999/-) we must not expect to have all the bells and whistles,which the other "not so cheap" tablets possess.Finally the Samsung Galaxy Tab ,Acer Iconia,etc. tablets belongs to the "premium + elite class" of I-Pads,not for common mass of people.

People looking for an E-Book reader should not buy this. No matter how cheap it is, its still an LCD display.
The reason the 'Kindle' is so special is because it has an e-ink display
Which does not harm your eyes like all other screens do!
A TV show is 1/2-1Hour max
A movie is 3 Hrs max
Imagine the damage caused to your eyes after reading a book on the aakash or any other tablet for 1 hour EVERYDAY!
The kindle isnt THAT expensive either!
If you know some one in the US you can get it for 80$
If not then for 5.6K on Junglee.com (Amazon's indian website)
AND the battery will last you 2 months of reading everyday for 1 hour!

And if you wanna read Comics or Magazines and youre looking for a color display I suggest you wait for a while. An e-ink color display ebook reader is gonna be launched soon. Either by B&N or Amazon!

Common Guys....

At the price that it is being sold. It is a good deal...
Soon there will be more faster processors available at lower prices....

Its an effect of mass production....

OK guys, i wanted to know a few things: when can we expect the next version of UbiSlate 7+ ?? Will it be a 'good deal' if I order now [25th Feb 2012] actually I don't want to order the older version if a new version is on the way.

I am basically going to read e-books and use our college's free WiFi.

another thing I wanted to know is how bad is it that the UbiSlate is not able to access the Android Market Store ? Is it a very big downside ? What do you think ? I have never used an Android device before. Will it be possible to upgrade the installed version of Android ? and get access to Android Market in any way. (I dont care about a camera on the device I really want the Android Market.)
