Its gonna be a waste of money if you go for cheap tablets. Most of those chinese made tabs are not good if you look for future reliability.

^^ the iBerry Auxus has got the #1 spot for budget tablets from thinkdigit review.. I can afford a iPad 2 next month, but as this will be the first time I am buying a table ill take a cheaper option first. if I do want to upgrade then I can sell it form the Bazaar section in this forum :)

Go for Funbook, you'll get warranty support, not for chinese tabs, no matter what everyone says.

after thinking a little bit, I still feel funbook is a right choice, I still got about 10 days to decide.. ill gift a better one to my dad couple of months later.. may be a iPad or galaxy tab.

Placed order for Aurora II from MP4Nation.. im more impressed with the Panel and resolution.. Damage - Rs. 8583.78 ($149.50), paid via debit card. free 2 day shipping via Fed Ex. Taking a risk.. I recalled that I didnt gift anything to my dad on his birthday last month.. so order today itself before I changed my mind :p.

Thanks everyone for the input.

update... got the tablet Monday (3rd) afternoon, I used it for about 6 hrs on Tuesday(4th). its a good buy for the budget. screen was the surprise, it was quite crisp. Build quality is not great (plastic) but doesn't feel cheap. Google Play is fine but not all apps are compatible.. Tablet get a little warm on the left side, but its manageable. Camera is nothing to write about. Coming to the actual use of the tablet.. the apps were snappy and didn't lag at all. I did notice app crashes when I was using Voice Search. 3 out of 10 voice search attempts would crash the application.

I will do a review on this tablet in a separate thread. Please let me know what all points I should cover..
