I surfing over wifi connection. I don't have any 3G dongle with me so, can't check.


Its not possible for me to review everyone's suggested game, still I will try. What 100MB pdf file!! sorry I don't have such file.

Hi. Sorry for not being a regular here.
First and foremost, I have tried using Reliance Netconnect+ dongle without any success, using all possible tips and tricks to use USB dongles on Tabs. I guess MMX FB is locked to Tata. Furthermore, if you check the box/bill, the device has a SIM no. also. Plus the Tata offer leaflet says something about activating the tablet or so. So maybe MMX has tied up with Tata to keep the device locked to one operator. I doubt it, but Reliance dongle freezes the device.

Secondly, am reading Tintin comics using the Aldiko reader.. Works like a charm.

PS: Temple run is great. Also try MotoRacer. Skype works like a breeze, but the other person can't see my video, though i can see them.

Oh my :( Hope, to see something work in the future, as of the ebook reader, it is great to hear :) :).
But, Skype :O :O Did, you try once or multiple times, if the other person is not able to see you, then what purpose is that vga front cam put in for! Holy crap!

Right off the assembly line
My review of the funbook:

Bought from Ncarry.com.......although their helplines don't work.......the shipment came to my doorstep before the promised deadline.......6 days to be precise......(the shipments originate from gurgaon.......i live in mumbai).....packing wasn't all tht bad either....

Battery Life - 4 hrs easy

Screen brightness - no complaints.....its no ipad but hell u can watch videos and read lonng ebooks without straining ur eyes.....

Sound - great

Touch interface - no issues......(again its no ipad......but its as good as the one in samsung galaxy ace smartphone if i have to make a comparison)

Build - sturdy......glossy finish......its a fingerprint magnet

Google Play - Market is installed and updates to google play on first use......one must use a good internet connection.....else he will get a connection timed out error......this happens in all android devices

Camera - VGA good enough fr video chatting......it renders good enough clarity.....but u will have to sit in a very well lit area to get the best experience

Mic - as seen in a video tht mic is absent......its got a mic inbuilt......can also record audio using an app which is preloaded in the tablet

Softwares:
Its got some useless micromax softwares.....im gonna remove em.
It also has Adobe reader, Adobe Flash Player, Document editor, all the essential google apps, an ebook reader, audio player, HD video player.....
U can very well use this tablet widout installing new apps.....ur basic needs are well covered.....ok one exception......no FB app u will have to download this app on ur own

Browser - bad......but one can install better browsers like opera, mozilla from google play......

Special note fr ebooks: Its good to read, but many a times the source you are reading from has small font or a lot of white space in the borders because of which one has to zoom in/out constantly which quite frankly is painful in any tablet........instead i will recommend to use softwares like caibre and convert your text file (pdf,doc,docx,htm,etc....) to epub format........now wen u read the ebook in epub frmat all these hassles of zoomin in/out are gone n u get a sharp/crisp text view without zooming

Suggestions:
1. Buy an ipod headset.......no headfones are provided wid the tablet.
2. Install a microSD card but only a class 6 or class 10 variant to keep the speeds high
3. Do not buy tata photon dongle......u can instead create hotspots using an android smartfone or laptop
4. Hunt fr a scratch guard and a cover fr the tablet.....jus to keep it as good as new freva.

Ya, noticed this. But once you remove the charger, it magically becomes fine.

Boss, bear in mind this is ICS OS.. even Skype is not so fast :wink:. Skype does give an alert, that your device is soo futuristic and they are taking time to have a Skype for Android 4 soon :-D

Suggestions:
1. Buy an ipod headset.......no headfones are provided wid the tablet.

.
Try the cellphone head:wink:sets. I use my BB headset and use it for Skype calls.
And any idea how to create a laptop hotspot? Am unable to do this!

Shadowgun is paid app. :(

Yes but there are ways to get around it *wink*..
come on, just a test if it works or not.. :-?.. is that so hard, dont keep it if u dont like piracy.. ive been asking since the day this tablet got released :/

BTW: Is the Tablet Prerooted ??? Does SetCPU work in the Native Kernel

You can remove rom integrated apps using Titanium Backup Pro if u have root access.. even if you dont, they can be removed using adb..
Test adb too while you are at it
(Sorry if I sound demanding, but im just too excited to order mine :O)
