Beetel Teletech, an arm of Bharti Enterprises, will come out with a seven-inch tablet computer next month. “It will have Android 2.2 Operating System. It will be sold at a very affordable price,” said Mr Rahul Mahajan, Head of Mobile Business of Beetel Teletech.
Refusing to indicate likely price of the tablet, he said the company would roll out more tablets in the subsequent months. The company would also launch Android and touch phone next month.
The company, which sold 1.5 lakh mobiles a month, would come out with two models every month this financial year.
Addressing a press conference here on Monday to launch two models in the sub-Rs 1,800 segment, he said the company would set up exclusive retail outlets, besides building a distribution network across the country. “In the next phase, we will set up manufacturing units when we reach a certain scale,” he said.
Free calls
Beetel Teletech has tied up with social networking site ‘ibibo' to offer free calls and SMSes to its members. “Customers can login to ibibo from the phone to take membership. They will be able to make calls depending on their ibibo activity. It has also tied up with Yahoo! and publishing house Penguin,” he said.
