Last updated on: January 7, 2012 09:16 IST

The Aakash tablet has finally gone on sale online. The ultra low-cost tablet is priced at Rs. 2,500, and comes with a delivery time of seven days. The Aakash tablet, previously nicknamed as Sakshat and touted as world's cheapest tablet, is aimed at students and can be used for various functions. The 7-inch tablet however, has already been criticised for its slower processor and minimal features, especially when compared to the better-specced Aakash 2, which is due to be launched in January.

Perhaps DataWind, the maker of Aakash, aims to address its limitations with the launch of the Aakash 2, which for now is officially being called the UbiSlate 7 tablet, and has been priced at Rs 2,999.

Jism2 poster: Sensuous or Vulgar?

Last updated on: January 7, 2012 09:16 IST

With Jism for title, it's rather easy to guess what to expect in the film, isn't it?

Upping the titillation quotient, the sequel will now feature porn star Sunny Leone in the lead role.

But before they actually sign the Bigg Boss evictee, producer-director Pooja Bhatt has shot a poster for Jism 2 with a mysterious girl in the nude.

"Sensuality is how you see things," Pooja Bhatt says, likening the poster to a 'piece of art.'

Can nudity be celebrated as beauty or erotica? Pooja answers, "Each person views things differently. Maybe there's nudity or lack of it. Some people are referring to the poster as sensual. I would like to believe it is."

If you recall, the first Jism had Bipasha Basu baring her long legs in the publicity posters, which shot her to instant fame. There was some talk that the Bhatts are talking to Bipasha, too, for the lead in Jism 2.

Interestingly, actor Dino Morea (Bipasha's ex boyfriend) is producing the film along with Pooja Bhatt.
