After Aakash and Ubislate7, there are some more cheap Android tablets are available in market for you. Recently BSNL has introduced three ‘Penta T-Pad’ series tablets named IS701R, WS704C and WS802C. All the three tablets run on Android OS, but they differ in hardware configuration and features.
The cheapest one in the series is of ₹ 3250 which is slightly greater than price of Aakash. But here, the increased cost is compensated by much better configuration. The first thing that hits to me is, the CPU. In Penta series, 1 GHz processor is used while in Aakash it was only 366 MHz in speed. It is not so long, but if you are unable to recall, consider reading configuration of Aakash and Ubislate 7 tablets.
