DataWind, the Aakash Tablet manufacturer has today renamed the upgraded version of Aakash from Ubislate 7 to Ubislate7+. Features and the price will remain almost the same. Aakash will be called Ubislate 7 from now on.


The specifications will be a Cortex a8-700 Mhz Microprocessor, 3200mAH battery, Android 2.3 Operating System, 7" TFT Resistive Screen and Wi-Fi with GPRS (SIM and Phone Functionality).



DataWind today said that they are getting in touch with all of those who had either Booked Aakash(Ubislate7) or Pre Booked Ubislate7+. The deliveries across the country are already in progress and everyone will get their tablets real soon.
So no change is specifications, just name change.

Question Re: DataWind Ubislate 7 is now Ubislate 7+

This seems Ubislate is bluff. there is no response from the concerned company. Even simple response is not available after a 15 days of registration. But had so much sites/ URLs there. which useful to hammering our head onlyONLY!

@bitras11

please donot type in all capital letters and bold. You seem to be ranting like a rep of another competitor company.

jokes apart it is not of much use posting that this whole thing is a bluff. Government of India have themselves announced this so I highly doubt it. Send an email to Data Wind with all you complaints and queries.

More over I dont know an ID will be sent to me instantly when I booked ubislate 7+. All these days, I thought I have to wait for the ID number to be sent by E-mail. I tried to approach the site 'contact us' but it answers to company owneres, but not individuals. I tired for it. But, Yesterday, I knew the ID is instantly generated and sent to the individual, by e-mail and seen on the site. what would go on all these days. "Is it shouting."

AFAIK virtually all of the product's actual design (touch panel, PCB, electrical components) was done by DataWind and not IIT.

What "IITians" did was to decide what would be the dimensions and specifications of the product, i.e. they had no part in the actual design or manufacturing.

Be very careful, at this initial stage I think DataWind neither has the staff nor the resources to support the demand and related queries. Things should improve after a few months, but with India it's always been "sales first, service later"

Just rang datawind on their Toll free number.

A chick attended the call, and said the folks who has pre-ordered in the month of October.. will be getting their products in February. And November/December orders will be served on March. Nothing before to that.

She also said.. all the orders for Ubislate 7/aakash will be auto upgraded to Ubislate 7+ which will cost 2999.

I've placed an order in October. But but back then, I haven't received any order ID. Just a confirmation that my order has been registered.

Also, she said... it isn't likely for the tablet to show up in retail stores. At least not in near future.

All I know is what that chick said. She said.. December orders will be served on March.

It is indeed a long time. Only possible explanation is that they are hand crafting each and every tablet.

In any case, call them up.. take all your rants to them
