Mercury mTab

After Reliance Infocomm launched its affordable 3G tablet at Rs. 12999/- the market has received another shock by another low priced or say cheap tablet from Kobian,

Mercury mTab. It is priced at Rs. 9499 sporting 7-inch cpacitive WVGA TFT display and runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread. If it really has a 1.2GHz triple core processor, this may turn out to be quite a powerful tablet under the sub-10,000 INR range.

For 3G connectivity you have to depend upon external USB 3G dongle and adding the cost for that it comes near about Reliance one.

The tablet also includes 512MB of RAM, 4GB of built-in storage, microSD card with support for up to 32GB, WiFi connectivity, optional 3G and a 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera.
