Fwd: World’s cheapest tablet Aakash to be out today - around 2K INR

 

NEW DELHI: You may soon be able to lay your hands on the $35 tablet, in retail stores albeit at almost double the price. 

The $35 tablet nicknamed Aakash, will be available at retail stores at a maximum retail price of Rs 2999 ($60), shortly after its launch on Wednesday, said its maker Datawind. 

"The Rs 3,000 figure is the 'maximum suggested retail price' of the commercial version of the product which we will offer with an embedded cellular modem and SIM," said Suneet Singh Tuli, CEO of Datawind, maker of the world's cheapest tablet. 

The $60 tablet for retail sales will have an inbuilt cellular modem and SIM to access internet, which will be absent in the $35 device, supplied to the government. 

As a business, we need to make a profit, and our distribution channel needs to make a profit, which is all covered in the MRP of Rs 2,999," Mr Tuli told * ET*. 

Both versions of the tablet, will run on Google's Android platform, with WiFi connectivity for internet access and cloud storage. The tablets will have 256 MB of RAM, a 32 GB expandable memory slot and two USB ports. 

The commercial version of the tablet would have no duty waivers or subsidy, as in the government's version. An inbuilt cellular modem and SIM card will add to the price of the commercial tablet. 

The commercial version of the tablet, is expected be out within 60 days, of its launch on October 5. 

Datawind adds that it is supplying to the government at a price of Rs 2200, which includes sales tax and replacement warranty. "The $35 price is achievable at higher volume levels. When we supply the product to the government at $35, then too it will allow us a margin, albeit at higher volumes," Datawind CEO added.

How to find the best online deals on electronics

An article from CNET:
While big retailers like Amazon and Best Buy are trying to persuade you that their price cut is the best bargain you'll get on that laptop you desire, tech-savvy shoppers are quietly scoring ridiculous deals only the Internet could offer.

There's a good reason why you haven't heard of sites like SlickDeals and DealsPlus before: tech shoppers who are in the know are good at keeping secrets. The deals are first come, first served, and usually sell out by the end of the day.

Well, I think it's about time I share this secret to best prepare you for your next tech purchase. Whether you're shopping for a new TV, gaming console, laptop, digital camera, or any other electronic device, make sure you visit these sites first:

SlickDeals
SlickDeals lets its users find the best deals from around in Internet, and shares them with rest of us. Each day, you'll find the top discounts on the front page, but more deals exist within the specific product categories across the top. Once you find the deal you want, you'll be redirected to the site on which it is offered. Tips and deals are also posted in the SlickDeals forums.

DealsPlus 
Like SlickDeals, DealsPlus relies on its users to scour the Internet for the best deals. Users "plus" deals to bring the best discounts and offers from all categories to the front page. Alternatively, you can look at deals by category.

FatWallet
FatWallet is yet another collective bargain-hunting site, where users find the deals. One unique difference between FatWallet and other sites is its cash back program, which gives members money back on their purchases. Retailer ads and other deals are also posted in the FatWallet forums.

There's even a discussion on Black Friday 2011 brewing already!

DealNews 
With a motto like "Where every day is Black Friday," expect to find excellent deals on electronics and other product categories curated by the DealNews staff.

There's also an accompanying app, which brings you deals while you're on the go, and a Black Friday app for that special time of year. DealNews also offers e-mail alerts to let you know when a product you're looking for goes on sale.

Woot
Unlike the previous Web sites, Woot organizes its own deals with manufacturers. This simple site brings you one deal every day, but the picks are usually great. If the daily deal doesn't impress you, check out the community page, where users post deals they find around

The following deal sites are similar to the ones above, and offer great bargains, too. Include them in your list of go-to places in your shopping adventures:
