This. I don't get why even here we echo the ridiculous hype & truth-bendiness of these efforts. It's ridiculous. Stop it.

CPU for the Aakash tablet is an Arm11 clocked at 366Mhz... This thing will be slow. Basically, another Maylong M-150 (search for "worst gadget ever")

Their Ubislate tablet is better than the Aakash, though.

Resistive touch screen.

I have 2 cheap tablets with resistive touch screens for app testing in-house, and I despise them. I actually wont use them for testing because my games are way too frustrating to play if you have to "press" to make things happen. I am not a fan. At all.

Plus, when getting an Android Tablet, you may want to see if it has the Android Market. Sure you can get alternative markets, the Amazon App Store, but they don't have the same volume of apps as the Android Market.

I recently talked my sister out of getting a resistive touch screen tablet for her young daughter to play with. I showed her mine and she agreed that it would turn into a headache rather than a fun toy.

All I'm saying is, try a resistive touch screen tablet somewhere before you decide to buy to decide if it's really something you want.
