We have been providing quite in detailed information about world’s cheapest tablet – Akash computer since its launch in October. Akash computer was launched with around 10000 devices distributed free of cost to the students by India’s HRD minister Mr Kapil Sibal. The manufacturing company of Aakash – DataWind’s CEO Suneet Singh Tuli informed on the same day about the forthcoming commercial, retail, non-student version of the tablet. Retail version of the akash computer tablet has been named as Ubislate and expected to be available at a price of Rs 2999 from first week of December 2011.
We have seen lots of people showing keen interest in buying this tablet. Most of these people are from students category. However, many are non-students but who can not afford the other expensive mobiles, tablets and computers. Aakash or UbiSlate has indeed given an opportunity for everyone in this country (and even world) to own a computer /tablet at cheapest ever price.
Tablet Aakash and its cheapest ever price has been able to generate so much curiosity worldwide that many other countries have also shown an interest in launching this tablet for their country people.

Some times delay may happen from the company (Datawind) side in generating and informing the booking id. However, please do check junk/spam folder of your emails, the email might have gone into that folder.Otherwise, you can drop a follow up email directly to DataWind company for that.

i’m student but i want to purchase ubislet in student rate online,HOW CAN I DO IT?
kuldeep – UbiSlate model is a non-student retail model. As a student you can get Aakash only. If you need buy UbiSlate you will have to buy it at the retail market price.
I get my booking id but i do not get any message on my e-mail address, is my product is booked?
Pushkar – if you got the booking id, then your product is booked. Must check in your junk/spam folder, in case email has reached there. Otherwise, write to company to get the confirmation.
There seems to be a lot of issues with the Aakash tablet site. First of all the site is down most of the time, the order form does not work on all the browser, most of the time it gives error.
fingers crossed!
on day one it only has the email ID and Phone number, but not they have again changed it to add the address as well. after submitting the form it show thankyou message and confirn the ID, but in mail instead of UBIslate details it gives detail config for the earlier lower version of Aakash tablet
people has booked it using both the forms and most of them have still not received the booking ID by mail. aslo, the toll free number is always busy. There is no way to track your booking and most of us dont know when we would be actually receiving it. Not sure why they had not done proper testing of the site, since it was so abvious there is going to be huge traffick on this site and its going to be difficult to keep track of all this issues.
Hope we would receive the quality tablet without any issues.
Yogesh – you are right. Company’s sites are indeed getting unaccessible many times owing to heavy loads. Better to always get in touch with the company at their official email and get the confirmation of your order (you can also try to call them at their toll free number but in case it is not reachable, you can write to them).

Ajay – Best thing is to get in touch with the company for the clarification. It could be case of phishing but then it could be a genuine repeated email from the company’s side. i heard due to excessive loads, company server are indeed getting into troubles many times. So it could be an outcome of the same.

Dear Mr Singh,
I had PREBOOKED UBISLATE in 2012 with ADVANCE payment and waited for 1 Year. They asked me to upgrade my choice in Jan 2013 which I did and they again asked me to pay upon delivery, which is RIDICULOUS…They DO NOT READ E mails or probably don’t understand English.. I am overseas and they have no Contact number to call.
NOW I have mailed them twice to REFUND… NO RESPONSE…Seems they have gobbled up the money from SEVERAL customers like me…. Seems I have to take them to COURT !!!! For the info of all who are interested in UBISLATE..!!! BEWARE
