BSNL’s ‘Pantel’ blow out ‘Aakash’

[vaithy]

BSNL, the state-owned telecom giant, has launched a new tablet in India that wants to take the failing Aakash tablet head-on. Noida-based company Pantel Technologies was tapped to produce the T-Pad IS 710r and it’s priced at just Rs. 3,250, o– a fraction above the Aakash price with better configuration.

The Penta TPAD IS701R is a powerful tablet solution at an unbelievably affordable price you may never have dreamed of! An Android OS based system with a high resolution 7” resistive touch screen (TFT Display) coupled with a powerful 1GHz processor and inbuilt DDR II 256M RAM give you best performance in the entry level category. You have all the controls in a single finger touch mode. Browse web wirelessly or enjoy media playback on this entry level Penta TPAD. The built in 2GB memory can be expanded upto 32GB using the onboard TF Card slot.

Only BSNL's SIM... huh... I am guessing it won't be usable with other SIM's.... and I am from Delhi... so looks like I am not eligible to own this tablet.

Btw.. can't see any link in first post to any news article. I cant compare it with Ubislate, if the exact configuration of tablet is unknown!

Prebooking this does look promising. I've received no update whatsoever of my Ubislate's pre-booking.
