Develop apps for Aakash, get rewarded

LUCKNOW/NEW DELHI: The world's cheapest tablet is on way to become a potential money spinner for students and social networking startups. Datawind, the maker of Aakash, a low-cost tablet, has announced a contest for students wherein their best applications will be embedded in the Ubislate - the commercial version of the $35 tablet likely to be launched next year.

"We hope to create an entrepreneurial culture among the student community. Students think unconventionally unlike large corporates or software development firms. If they design an useful application which is selected, it would be pre-burned in millions of tablets to be shipped out by us," said Suneet Singh Tuli, chief executive of Datawind said at the IIM Lucknow's Entrepreneurial Summit.

About three lakh pre-sales booking have been received for Ubislate, expected to be priced at Rs 3,000 at retail stores. The Ubislate is expected to be bundled with a Rs 99 data plan for internet access.

Tuli added that while it could be a money-spinner for a student who will get a royalty from the usage of application on the tablet, they would also gain by offering a useful application to their users. About Rs 1 lakh each will be awarded to five students who come up with a winning application for the world's cheapest tablet, which runs on Google's Android operating system, version 2.2.

Social sector organisations also stand to gain from the low-cost tablet. India's software lobby, Nasscom, also announced a partnership with Datawind Monday whereby it will distribute 200 tablets to non-government organisations (NGOs).

To boot, Nasscom Foundation has partnered with Datawind and announced a contest wherein 10 NGOs will have an opportunity to win 20 tablets each, mainly to improve their operations and programme implementation.

To win these tablets, the social organisations will have to showcase how best they can leverageAakash tablet for promoting education, health and livelihood.

Open With Option Comes When Trying to Open D or E Drives

This is a problem facing by many users that "When I click on my D & E drives it does not open directly. A window appears and prompts me to OPEN WITH - “choose the program you want to use to open this file”"

You may want to try to re-register a certain dll file to get this to work again. Click on Start, Run and type regsvr32 /i shell32.dlland click ok.

Another process is to delete the autorun.inf file on each drive. Make sure that Windows Explorer is set to show all hidden and protected files.
Next find and delete the file named Autorun.inf in the drive's root. Then logoff the computer and log back in. You may need to make a blank autorun.inf and put it in the root of each drive if that doesn't work. To do this you can open Notepad, leave it blank and do a Save As and name it autorun.inf.

There is also a utility called FixDrive which is supposed to fix this problem. We have not tested it so use it at your own risk.
