hello,
I want to buy a cheap tablet within 10K.
1) My primary concern is snapping pictures of pages of my books and reading them in the tablet. A 7 inch tablet will do or will i need a 9 inch one?
2) it should have bluetooth-- just in case the tablet's camera is not good enuf, i can use my Nokia's camera and transfer to it.

3) having GPRS, EDGE, 3G is a good option. Can it support opera mini browser?

4) ability to run PDF of 200 MB smoothly (good processor?)

5) no support for using it as a fone/ mp3/ video support is needed.
.
I want to use it exclusively for study purpose and nothing else.

I have searched and found the Aakash to be suited to it. But i heard its touch screen is a bit crappy..
.
Also i have seen some brands in naaptol (dot) com which are good. But again the brand name i never heard of.
.
I am a student. Do, plz come up with some cheap models.
Thanks in advance.

There are many options like Aakash tablet, Zync 7 inch tablet, Fujezone 7" tablet, Archos 7 Inch Arnova7 G2 8GB WIFI Tablet, HCL Me 7 Inch Tablet. All these you will get on any online shopping store and all these are within your budget.

Forget all the pathetic 7" Chinese tablets... They are not worth it. Poor screen quality, poor resolution, poor user experience...

Your best bet...

Buy a second hand 1st Gen iPad. 16 GB WiFi + 3G version should be available around 12k to 14k, maybe even less if you are lucky.

If you buy an iPad, you will get
1. Excellent Battery Life
2. Bigger Screen and better resolution
3. Excellent Built Quality
4. Excellent Ecosystem
5. Superb resale value

If you insist on buying something new, then consider Galaxy Tab 7" which was available online for around 13k. But not recommended. It just cannot compete with iPad...

Think about it...

I dont need a high end gadget. I need 1Ghz processor and it should be able to read 200 MB sized pdfs easily. I cannot wait and budget is within Rs 10K.
Please tell me how is Beetel MagiQ??

Check out world's first sub-100$ ICS tablet -- Ainol Novo 7 Paladin Tablet --

*www.youtube.com/watch?v=zU8e1yDyu80

Available on the site below for around 6.5k. There could be cheaper deals out there that I am not aware of.

-Ainol-NOVO-7-Paladin-Android-4-0-Ice-Cream-Sandwich- - Wicked Leak Shopping

The tablet is good enough for sub-100$ range...

Cheers!

now i havr begun to be a liker of the HCL Me 1x tablet (Rs 10999) which is the Indian counterpart of the Coby Kyros Mid 7022.
Any feedback regarding it. I read some good reviews at amazon for the specs coming at this price.
