I've been following this thread, and I just bought the Funbook along with the accessories. Kids have been super busy loading their favorite games on the tablet, and finally my wife's and my phones are free for our own use 
.
Surprises:
Accessories:
Bought the case, car charger and the screen guard from the nimbuzz/ mcarry site. Case is quite weird in that it has a big velcro strip to hold the tablet securely - makes the case look slightly puffy. The case is a light grey colour. The car charger is just a little thing with 2 USB ports, no cables supplied. Extremely odd! However I was able to use the mini-USB cable that came with the tablet to charge the tablet with the car charger.
Total cost:
Used my Amex card on Indiatimes for a 15% discount, and ended up paying Rs 5515.65 for the tablet. All 3 accessories together came to Rs 1297.00. Hence total cost so far (will need to buy a 16/32 GB MicroSD card for movies/ audio etc.) is Rs. 6813.65! Sweet deal overall.
Overall thoughts so far
Cool price, but limited utility. Will use it for a couple of days before judging it further, it's still in the "setup" stage as of now. The "can't use while charging" is driving me mad though
. My son is unable to use his favourite game "Real Football 2012" (saying not enough space), so hoping that I can install it on an external MicroSD card.
.Surprises:
- Touch sensitivity is poor, or course when charging it's unusable. I hope Micromax has a fix for this basic use case.
- Processor(s) seems quite good, able to play games etc. without much hassle
- Screen resolution/ clarity/ viewing angles are pretty crappy, but sufficient for the purposes of kids playing games (I hope).
