Commercial version of Aakash delayed until late January 2012

If you are among the 3 lakh people who pre-ordered the commercial version of Aakash, then you’ll have to wait until next year. Aakash, which is being assembled by Datawind has hit all price barriers. While government is distributing these tablets in schools and colleges, the commercial version won’t be out until the end of January. According to Mobile Indian, a Datawind spokesperson revealed that improved version of Aakash will hit store shelves next year by the end of January due to upgradation and certain unexpected issues in manufacturing.
