hanji paji, but the akash project is not just about a product. it's an experiment about capacity building.
I'm only too happy to support the cause and buy it.

if the public response continues, it would be safe to assume your expectations/suggestions will be catered to as well.

The subsidised one's can only be bought through institutions like school or colleges.

This is for poor students who cannot afford to buy any computing device.
A cycle cost around 20000 INR in UK, that is not what bihar govt gives to poor children to go to school.


For others you are better off buying a decent device. Especially if you are member of this forum and can write in English, Akash is not for you.
It has resistive screen which is really difficult to use.

Rural mobile telephony in India got boost due to availability of cheap Chinese mobile. I hope this one will help in rural computing.

why not ?? there are two variants available ,one is subsidized which we can`t buy and only meant for students ,while the other one ,which is a little bit more powerful is available for sale and i think is suitably priced ,would be a great device to own and would generate revenues for the govt. or the company, I think even you too, should order one and help the company to make some profit.

Revenue does not go to govt. It is a private company.
So it is equivalent to buying any other device, why not buy a proper one(if you can afford).
