Further the Aakash 4 must be dual bootable with Ubuntu Operating system ( through external memory card). One of the key points in the government’s notification says that the hardware accelerator should be capable of supporting OpenGL ES 2.00 playing true HD 720 with at least 30fps. It is added some where in the notification that the device should also support 4G through any relevant dongle and NFC based SD card should also work like a charm.
