Remember the Aakash tablet? In most case you would. The tablet mayn't have been among the best of budget slates around, but it definitely had hit the headlines thanks to the close tie-up between the Govt. of India and Datawind, the company behind the tablet. Incidentally though, Datawind failed to meet shipping deadlines and the plans didn't proceed as expected. Hopefully this won't be the case with the Freedom 251 too!
