Montreal firm launches world's cheapest tablet: $48
Two Indian-born Canadian immigrants are behind the world’s cheapest
tablet computer.
On Wednesday, Indian Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal
introduced the device, developed by DataWind, a Montreal firm founded by
brothers Raja and Suneet Singh Tuli.
DataWind CEO Suneet Singh Tuli expects to sell 1 million tablets per
month once the Android-powered device goes on sale to the general public
later this year.
The first run of 100,000 Aakash tablets (meaning “sky” in Hindi and
Gujarati) has been purchased by the Indian government for $48 each. They
will be resold to university students for $25.
