There has been a flux of low-cost tablets in India lately. Just a day after the launch of two Android-powered tablets by HCL Infosystems, the Indian mobile manufacturer Micromax on Tuesday unveiled its Funbook (tablet computer) that runs on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS).
Funbook by Micromax also enables 3G connectivity via USB dongle. In addition, the maker of Funbook has also bundled TATA Photon EVDO datacard.
The brand new Micromax Funbook features a 7-inch capacitive display, has 512MB RAM and a 4GB of internal storage capacity that can be expandable up to 32GB, a 0.3 megapixel (VGA) front facing camera, 2,800 mAh battery and 1.2GHz processor. And the good news is that it is priced at Rs. 6,499, which is cheaper than the HCL ME U1.
The HCL ME U1 is also powered by Android ICS and has been priced at Rs. 7,999, while the HCL MyEdu Tab - K12 Version carries a price tag of Rs 11,499.
When comparing both the HCL ME U1 and the Funbook, one might not find any major difference except the price.
