Android tablets in Asia

Android tablets are popular in China and India has the Aakash tablet, but something that has not got a lot of press outside of Thailand yet is that the Thai government has signed a contract for 900,000 Android 7 inch tablets sourced from Shenzen Scope Scientific in China, with the possibility of a further 700,000 higher spec devices for high school students.

The Thai government is paying around $81 a unit.

So while the iPad has conquered the first world, not only is it failing to gain traction in poorer countries, the basic seven ich devices out of China are building a user base, making one wonder if Android will become the South, SouthEast and East Asian default tablet operating system ...
