Note:
I strongly recommend you to go for Ubislate7+. It has got good features comparative to Ubislate7.
Even I have booked for Ubislate7+. Lets enjoy the features of cheapest Tablet by India.
You can pre-book it on http://aakashtablet.com/ but once you book, it does not mean they will deliver Tablet to you. They will confirm you once they start dispatching the tablets so give the proper details.
Tablets will be dispatched in late January.
