Finally India has launched its own so claimed cheapest computer tablet in the world. It will come to the market in December with expected consumer end price of ₹1400-1700. Laced with many advance features such as touch-screen, Wi-Fi and HDMI, the tablet runs on Android 2.2 operating system.
Many key features are quite impressive but I am not happy with some of the limiting configuration. For students and less-needy person it is good. But a bit broader user may not expect it up to his needs.
