Aakash 2 to get Android 4.0 update


Aakash 2 tablet which is expected to be launched in May this year will get Android 4.0 and Dual core processor later this year, claims its maker.

The Aakash 2 tablet will get Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system update after six to eight weeks of its launch in May said Suneet Singh Tuli, chief executive officer, Datawind,
Tuli added, "As the cost of hardware comes down further we will also offer improved dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor later this year."
Initially Aakash 2, will ship with the Android v2.3 Gingerbread OS and single-core 800MHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor, when it launches in May.
However Android 4.0 looks unlikely to run smoothly on Aakash 2 as it will only have 256MB of RAM and 2GB of in-built memory, both of which are way below the standard set by Google for Android 4.0 to run.
Aakash project has been mired in delays and un-kept promises right since the beginning. And this seems to be yet another in that list. If indeed Aakash 2 will get Android 4.0 update, it will need to ship with better hardware than what is being proposed.
Among the other features of the Aakash 2 will be new 7 inch capacitive screen (first one had resistive) and better battery.
As far as the promise to offer Dual core processor is concerned that can indeed be possible given the declining cost of processors and chips are concerned but when and at what cost that will happen is something that is hard to predict.

Toshiba Unveil Three Android 4.0 Tablets !


Toshiba have unveiled three new tablets which all run on Android 4.0 and feature the same specification  apart from their screen sizes , which vary from a whopping 13.3 inches down to 7.7 inches.

The 3 new Ice Cream Sandwich tablets are the Toshiba Excite 13.3 (pictured above), Excite 10.1 and the Excite 7.7 with the numbers reflecting the screen-size of each device. Although the display's differ in size they all have Gorilla Glass which protects them from scratches , while all three of the tablets come with a stylish and durable aluminium shell.

The new excite tablets are all powered by a quad-core Tegra 3 processor, which will give them more than enough power to run the latest version of Google's operating system without any trouble at all.

They also all have a 5 mega-pixel rear facing camera , which is backed-up by a front-facing 2 mega-pixel offering for video calling. The range of new Excite tablets also come with stereo speakers, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity. Sadly, there is no mention of 3G support so we assume that its not present.

The Toshiba Excite 10.1 will be available in the US from the start of May which prices starting at $449.99 for a 16GB model and going up to $649.99 for a 64GB model.

The other two tablets will be available in June with the Excite 13.3 32GB model costing $649.99 and the 64GB model coming in at $749.99. The Excite 7.7 will be available in a 16GB model priced at $499.99, while the 32GB model will cost you $579.99.

We don't have any news on whether the new Excite tablets will launch in the UK, but as soon as we get any news you'll be the first to know.
