For a start Akash tablet is meant for students who can not afford expensive tablets like IPads. Indian Government is subsidizing the price to make it available at such low costs to students. At the moment there are no plans to sell it in retail, and it will only be distributed via colleges and universities at a very nominal price of $35-$45.
Bad news for all the fans of Akash tablet from abroad is that it will be available in India for now. But if you are tech blogger or someone who writes reviews for gadgets and desperately want to buy one to write a review then you can check indian market place sites like ebay.in and Quikr.com
I am sure there will be some owners of Akash tablet who would auction it to make few quick bucks.
By January only 100,000 of these tablets will be ready, so chances of you owning one are sleak for next few months.
We hope that they release it worldwide so that each and every student in this world can take advantage of Akash tablet.
