A Canadian-based company touting a product whose only wow factor is an exceptionally low price.

Datawind, based in Mississauga with research and development operations in Montreal, has created three tablets that start at $38 and top out at $120, aimed at an audience they say has been forgotten by the world’s biggest electronics manufacturers.

Initially created as part of a tender brought forth by the Indian government, the company launched its products in North America and the U.K. in late December, with hopes of targeting cost-conscious consumers who up until now have been priced out of the tablet revolution.

Datawind’s CEO Suneet Singh Tuli is currently at CES (the Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas showing off his company’s wares, but sat down with the Star in late December showcasing the product line. The real attention getter is the Ubislate 7Ci, which sounds too good to be true at a retail price of $37.99. It’s available now, plus a $10 shipping fee, from Ubislate.ca.

Specs
UbiSlate features a Cortex A9 (1GHz) processor – comparable to the original iPad – along with 512MB of system memory (RAM) and 4GB of internal storage. There is a microSD card slot, however, capable of memory cards up to 32GB each.

Along with the built-in Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n), the UbiSlate 7Ci tablet supports external 3G for mobile broadband data connectivity; a USB adaptor is included in the box, to snap in a WAN stick, if desired

I may buy this for my grandpa. He's wanted one for a while now but it the ipads and the others were way tooo expensive for us.

He's just going to watch news clips anyway so it doesn't need a lot of power to start off with.

This could be interesting for lower educational environments.
