will have a micro-SD slot, and a 2 GB micro-SD flash memory card, upgradable to 32 GB, to store user data and programs not run from ROM. In Android 2.3 some applications and data can be moved from the ROM to the memory card.
Memory: ROM size has apparently not been stated by Datawind, but is estimated to be either 256 MB or 2 GB.[27] Both tablets have graphics processing cards, but the graphics memory size and GPUspeed have not been stated .
Google Android Market: Aakash has no SIM card and insufficient processing power to use Google's Android Market, and will instead use the GetJar Marketplace. UbiSlate-7+ also will not have access to Google's Android Market confirmed by Google.
Network: Aakash supports wireless local area network (wireless LAN, Wi-Fi). It does not support GPRS/3G cellular networks. UbiSlate-7+ has GPRS Internet connection, a 2.5 generation Internet connection. Both tablets support an external 3G USB modem.
[edit]Browser
Datawind announced that their browser will use data compression technology to speed up data transmission. Compressed data such as ZIP files, JPEG images, MP3 audio, MPEG video will be transmitted at the basic speed, while uncompressed data will transmit typically at speeds up to 6 times faster, depending upon its nature. If and when successfully combined with Server-side web compression, 1G Analog Internet service might actually be able to compete with 2G or 3G digital internet service. Datawind claims that their browser can give up to 30 times faster speeds.[28]
