Hodentek Mobile

Microsoft Mobile is a hardware manufacturing company located not in REDMOND but in Espoo, Finland. That Microsoft acquired Nokia's devices and services divison is knwn although details finalized this April 2014. Microsoft Mobile will: Design Develop Manufacture Distribute Mobile Phones Smart Phones Tablet Computers Accessories The 'Lumia' and the low end 'ASHA(Hope in Samskruta aka Sanskrit)' are owned by Microsoft. I am not sure if 'Asha' can compete with 'Akash' which traces its DNA to INDIA? http://hodentek.blogspot.com/search?q=akash In any case, I wish good luck to Microsoft Mobile. You can develop apps for Nokia ASHA either with Java or Web. You should read this article if you are into developing apps: http://developer.nokia.com/asha/platform-overview Watch this Nokia ASHA related video from Vietnam.  

Get yourselves a UbiSlate with Android OS starting under $40. Go no further you can buy it from here. The specs, the price, the details all in one place. http://ubislate.us/compare.php   Here is a picture story of Akash 3     Here is a link to my Akash 4 post:   http://hodentekmobile.blogspot.com/2013/12/worlds-cheapest-tablet-for-25.html  

I am assuming $1 about 60 RS which changes daily. The subsidized tablet Akash 4 (Akash means sky) conceived in 2011 to put a tablet in every student's hand in India will go on sale on January 2014. It appears that Datawind of UK had the exclusive contract to make this device which now will be tendered and some 18 manufacturers have shown strong interest. It will eventually cost RS 1500. 4G enabled tablet will with approximate dimension of 7"comes with 4GB internal storage extendable to 32GB with a SD card. It will have a scratch resistant touch screen and will support Wi-Fi, 2G, 3G,and 4G connectivity. It should weigh about 500gm and sport a front camera. Battery time around 3 hours with video or 5 hours browsing the internet.
