Lahore, Pakistan (PRWEB) October 10, 2011

FiveRivers Technologies and its mobile applications subsidiary, Pepper.pk, announced today that they will support the recently launched low-cost Aakaash tablet from India.

The Aakaash tablet, priced at USD $ 60, is sponsored by the Government of India and is intended for widespread distribution in rural and urban areas, specifically to promote literacy and education. The tablet is based on Googles Android operating system and is equipped with a 366 Mhz processor and a 7 resistive touch-screen. The device will be manufactured by Canadas DataWind Ltd. The project is the brain-child of Indias Minister for Human Resource Development, Mr. Kapil Sibal.

 

Mahe Zehra Husain, Co-Founder of Pepper.pk said, We at FiveRivers Technologies and Pepper.pk would like to congratulate our friends in India on the launch of the Aakaash Tablet. More than anything, we would like to see friendship and cooperation in South Asia, and in that spirit, we are announcing our effort to add value to Aakaash and enrich it with our leading software products. Information Technology is critical to both our countries as it can be a powerful force to reduce poverty and eliminate illiteracy.
