Ncarry starts selling Aakash tablet in India

Datawind has tied up with Nimbuzz group’s Ncarry.com to sell Aakash tablet in the country. This INR 2500 tablet was also on sale via Aakashtablet.com two weeks ago, but was sold out within days. Ncarry.com is reportedly carrying limited stocks of the tablet and promises to ship in 5-7 days.
Consumers will have option to pay via an online transaction, cash on delivery or even via Cheque/DD, but site says that preference will be given to already-paid orders. Really, so much for giving buyers option to choose payment method, it is like – give us the money else we might dump you for someone with a credit card.
There is no option to choose the Ubislate tablet (commercial version with GPRS connectivity) or even pre-order the upcoming upgraded version.
Price: INR 2499 + INR 199 (shipping) (Buy from here)
