What is Ubislate and what are its specifications?

• Ubislate is a low cost tablet computer by
  Datawind, a London based Technology Company
  founded by two brothers of Indian origin Mr.
  Suneet Singh Tuli and Mr. Raja Tuli. This company
  in collaboration with the Government of India has
  come up with low cost computing solutions and as
  a result the Ubislate tablets have arrived for
  the masses at affordable rates. These are the
  same tablets that are available under the name
  Aakash, for the students in India at highly
  subsidized prices. The name Aakash is given
  mainly to give the student version a separate
  identity from its commercial version. However by
  and large the specs remain the same although the
  price is higher when compared to what the Aakash
  is made available at.

• Ubislate 7 was the first version of Aakash tablet
  and while it was priced at Rs. 2500 initially and
  later received a processor upgrade to a 700 MHz
  and was priced at Rs. 2999 the Aakash version
  did not receive any such upgrade and had the same
  366 MHz processor and was available for as low as
  Rs. 1130 approximately. Only recently the Aakash
  got an upgrade and was named as Aakash 2 with
  much improved specs and performance. This tablet
  too is actually Ubislate device named Ubislate
  7Ci for the commercial buyer and is available at
  Rs. 3,999 on the official Datawind website
  www.ubislate.com, while a student can expect to
  lay their hands on one at about Rs. 1500 if the
  Government implements similar subsidies like the
  Aakash 1 tablet.

• Coming back to Ubislate, currently there is just
  one version of Aakash which is same as the 7Ci
  but the Ubislate is available in two versions,

  being the Ubislate 7C. A third version is
  expected to be called Ubislate 7Cz but there is
  no official word from Datawind yet on its final
