Aakash 2 Tablet : The ultra-low tablet 'Aakash' has created a revolution in the tech world when it was released. It got over 1.4 million bookings in the first 14 days and reached 2.1 million bookings in just 21 days. Though it was a huge hit, the company couldn't manufacture such a large number of devices with having only one manufacturing unit at Hyderabad. Some of the people din't get the tablet into their hands yet and also company got many complaints for its low battery life and slow processor.
