Akash - is the producer Datawind a cheating company?

1. Montreal-based DataWind may lose its contract to make India's subsidized tablet computer, according to a report published today.

Following user complaints about battery life, slow performance and the tablet's touch screen, the Indian government is reopening the contract to produce the Aakash tablet to new bidders, the Globe said.

2. The device had trouble keeping a battery charge, would only work with the power cord plugged in

2. couldn't use an Ethernet connection
