Mobile phone maker Micromax today intensified the war in the tablet market with its FunBook priced at Rs 6,499.
The device will be manufactured at its plant in Haridwar.
“We have a manufacturing capacity of one lakh units per month and we are already looking at increasing that number. That should give an idea to the kind of numbers we are looking at for the device,” the Micromax CEO, Mr Deepak Mehrotra, said.
The 7-inch FunBook is based on the Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich platform and has a 1.22 GHz processor, 0.3 MP VGA front camera, 4GB internal memory, expandable up to 32GB. The company has partnered with Pearson and Everonn to make educational content available on the tablet PC.
