Starter's special
If you are looking to experience a Tablet PC for the first time with all the standard functionality but minus any pricey bells-n-whistles, the Ambrane A3-770 is a great place to start.
The 7-inch screen has an acceptable 1024 by 600 pixel resolution. There are two cameras — 2MP and 0.3 MP and 2 SIM slots for 3G and 2G calling. The 1 GB RAM and 8 GB storage expandable to 32GB through MicroSD card is standard. The 1.3 Cortex dual core 1.3 GHz processor is no slouch and the WiFi antenna is quick and sensitive. An FM radio and the built-in MP3 player sounded good and loud.
We were thrilled to find the makers had thrown in for free, a cool rubber-tipped stylus — something that even the priciest tablets omit and for its snub nose, it was surprisingly accurate. Another thoughtful service is the one year accidental damage cover in the warranty. All in all a paisa vasool package for Rs 3999.
