Micromax the worlds 12th largest mobile phone seller from India has launched its first ever tablet the FUNBOOK. Yes it is an competitive market and there are many established players in this tablet world but none of them are able to price the right formula. the aakash the lowest of lowest and the Ipad the highest of highest are unusable and out of reach respectively of many prospective buyers of tablets.
Then there is a micromax who i think have perfectly blended the right formula. a tablet which is perfectly usable with 1.2 ghz of processor the mali 400 dual core Gpu and 512 mb of ram and not to forget the latest android on top of it. The android 4.0 ICS is a big boost for a tablet. and this combination performs much better at a price point of Rs. 6499.
The pros are many but there are some downsides also.
First and foremost the battery life which is claimed to be @ 5 hours of browsing. I don't get it have to test the real unit before commenting on it but the battery life can be a problem in this funbook .
Second one are the oddly placed buttons. this tablet looks like a upgraded version of the 2.3 GingerBread tablet. ICS is after thoughts. The buttons looks odd on the devise with Ice Cream Sandwich on it due to the on screen back and home keys of ICS.
Third and not the least the Screen Resolution its not good enough for 7 incher and there should be some improvement on that front in the second revised edition
But none the less you are getting a ICS tablet at 6499 and thats great we cant expect much more at this price point, the future of micromax is bright and its going in the right directions. and who knows in the future we will get a ratina display tablet at the same price point.
