Aakash 2 Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich

The key update for Aakash 2 will be that the Aakash 2 will get Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich for the operating system. That operating system update does raise an interesting issue though. Namely, the specifications for the new version of the tablet don’t meet the recommended minimum specifications for ICS. The tablet gets a single core 800 MHz processor and 256 MB of memory with 2 GB of storage space.

We already know that Aakash 1.0 had performance issues and we also know that you can not run a high performance OS on a machine which has weak hardware. To run a high performance PC you would need good RAM, and good processor. We are hugely disappointed by Indian government and IIT's who are working on Aakash 2.0. They should either downgrade the OS to Android 3.0 or should put more processing power.


what are your vies regarding this..
