Government sources in India have announced they are ready with the next gen Aakash II. Sporting better specifications, such as a more powerful processor and a more capable battery unit (among other enhancements), a key aspect of Aakash II is its support for several important programming languages such as Python, C, C++ and Scilab, making it the first tablet in the market to do so.
“Unlike other tablet devices, Aakash can also be used to create computer programs, in Python, C, C++ and Scilab,” HRD Minister Kapil Sibal.
This, no doubt will greatly enhance the tablet’s appeal among the student community, its targeted clientele. Datawind had earlier submitted hundred units of the Aakash II devices to IIT Mumbai for necessary trials. The specifications have since been approved by officials at the HRD ministry stating the actual shipping could start as early as the first week of July.
With a keen interest in tech, I make it a point to keep myself updated on the latest developments in technology and gadgets. That includes smartphones or tablet devices but stretches to even AI and self-driven automobiles, the latter being my latest fad. Besides writing, I like watching videos, reading, listening to music, or experimenting with different recipes. The motion picture is another aspect that interests me a lot, and I'll likely make a film sometime in the future.
