India FTW

I just feel like clapping hands for Indian government. hats off!! Waiting for release so eagerly........
Its Ipad Killer in india and partial electronic E-book reader killer. (Just because of E-Ink)

Why will it kill iPad?

Touchscreen, computer comparable capability, portability, Readability, connectivity. Complete for student needs.
(It can contain full-laden encyclopedias. Mobile-network supplied internet. What we all lack is absence of WiFi hotspots in most of schools, colleges and institutes; even in metropolitan cities)

Why will it half-kill e-Readers?

Most people buy ebook reader to read portably. It may win. But may be discouraged as long time reading device because: a. No E-Ink and eye-strain, non-readability in bright light, GLARE. b. Battery life. (Cannot be more than 8 hrs I guess).

Android sytem? I dont know, but whole hardware should be modifiable for installing UberStudent or so...


Hats off for Rs. 1500 tablet.
