It's a 7" tablet. I am looking for 10" so that I can read ebooks better. BTW How is Ainol Hero for 12.7k?

Motorola has no service centers, they are extinct from India. It has TFT display and weighs very much. I would pay not more than 4k for this.

iBerry Auxus CoreX2 meets most of your requirements (except the screen size). It has a 3G sim slot as well.

Yea, it is 7" but has resolution of 1280 x 800 with IPS display like Nexus 7. But I have no idea about brand and after sales.

If you can wait, wait for a while we might get the awesome Acer 7' Tablet, the Iconia B1.. :D
I don't think you can ask for anything better.. :D

the Acer Iconia B1 is likely to sport a 7-inch screen with a 1024x600 resolution. It will be powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor alongside 512MB RAM and come with 8GB internal storage (expandable via microSD slot), GPS and Bluetooth 4.0.

No, man! It doesn't full fill my requirement. 512 MB RAM is quite low for Jelly Bean.

It matches the specs of Xperia go and even that device is getting an official JB.
So i doubt.
That's why i asked, if you can wait, you can check the review (out o the box JB), and go for a reputed brand at low cost than spending on local brands.. :)

As someone has mentioned, wait for the launch of iBerry Auxus CoreX2 and CoreX4. I really liked their teaser video for these tablets.

Xperia go is lame. Whole Xperia series lags a lot in comparison to other phones of their segments. 512MB on JB will make the device worse.

Looks nice! Any idea about the exact CPU and GPU chip used in this? Do you think it would be better option than Ainol Hero?

My point has nothing to do with this particular product but you should know that Motorola has stopped selling products in India but its service centers still provide service.

Who cares? It has limited service centers in few cities, soon everything will extinct.
