DataWind, the Canadian company that is manufacturing low-costAakash tablet, may run out of favour from the Indian governmentbecause it had violated the contract condition of providing the tablets first to the government before selling it in open market.
HRD ministry official have been quoted as saying by a news daily that government may not procure more than initial quota of one lakh tablets from DataWind as they started the online booking of Aakash tablet before supplying it to the government.
The Mobile Indian had reported this discrepancy regarding the delivery of Aakash tablet to government in December when DataWind started the online booking for the world's cheapest tablet.
Aakash tablet has been criticised for its poor battery life, poor processor that is unable to do multi-tasking and below par display quality.
Meanwhile, the Indian government is now thinking to bring a better low cost tablet which will address the drawback of the original Aakash tablet.
