what do you think friends...... shall I buy?

wait for sometime, they are going to increase the ram... (this will happen when BJP will centre)

also please tell me when i can i expect to get more Ah on battery..for 6 hours

Any owners here or anyone used it here ?

Datawind is yet to set up manufacturing facility in India. ITs going to take at least another 3 months before the first reaches the hand of common public.

Till now I am not totally convinced with this Aakash, not much but just a few reasons
* Doesn't have 3G (HSDPA7.2) so its kind of useless on the go
* Battery will last for 180 minutes only so again useless on the go
* 256MB RAM means multiple applications can't run smoothly
