Tablet computers adoption among teens has increased substantially and mobile access to the internet is pervasive. Tablets are great for surfing the web, playing games, checking e-mail, watching movies, listening to music; all of the ways your child can consume digital information. In a few years, the nature of teens’ internet usage has transformed significantly, from fixed connections tied to desktops in the home to always-on connections that can be used on the go.
The ultra-portable gimmicks put everything you need right at your fingertips, from the Web and Facebook to games and email. There’s no doubt that technology comes with its price. The better the technology the costlier the device. But, there is good news for the medium class income group that there is mushrooming of vendors that are making low-cost tablets for the teens. When it comes to your best buy tablet, if you're in India, the best tablet for your teen is undoubtedly the UbiSlate. While giving you the best value for money, it’s basically an Android tablet, so most android apps can be installed on it.
Datawind has unveiled many versions of UbiSlate aka Aakash, a low-end tablet apparently targeted at students. From educational apps to digital textbooks, UbiSlate can be a great gadget for teens and even younger kids. The idea of the Aakash is to provide students a good digital device so that they benefit from good teaching.
Among the educational content, you can find the E-Book App for Class 1 to 12 NCERT in English, Hindi & Urdu Medium; Test Preparation Tool; Free Higher Education & Soft-Skill Courses powered by CEC London; English language learning tools; and Interactive Multimedia-rich educational resources. The tablet flaunts a 7 inch capacitive touch screen that is big enough to make it easy to read from, yet not too big and bulky to hold (for a 12 and 14 yr old). While the older versions of Aakash were a success, the Indian government is planning to launch another upgraded version, i.e. Aakash 4, All SIM Card Tablet by the end of March, 2014.
