BSNL, the state-owned telecom giant, announced on Friday that it would bring three Android tablets in partnership with Pantel, a company based in Noida. Of the three, the cheapest one TPAD IS701R is priced at just Rs. 3,250 - a few hundred rupees more than the commercial version of Aakash tablet with better configuration.
The Penta TPAD IS701R features a 7 inches resistive touchscreen, powered by a 1 GHz processor, 256 MB RAM and 2GB of Flash memory that can be increased up to 32 GB via memory card.
