BSNL Low Cost Tablet

BSNL, working with "Pantel Technologies" in Noida has come up with three low-cost tablet alternatives providing tethered data plans.

The lowest cost is a 7-inch tablet priced at Rs 3,250 whose most tardy feature is a Resistive Touchscreen. All models have relatively lower RAM than the glitterati tablets that vie with the likes of iPad.

These are nowhere close and are strictly meant to be affordable. They are not meant to be positioned against the Samsung Galaxy Tab or Motorola Xoom or Acer Iconia. The iPad is way out of league in comparison.

For those who would be interested in getting heavier tablets for a more affordable budget, you could take a look at the specifications. All the Tablets are named 'Penta T-PAD' and the interesting part is the number of ports they come with.

SC Verdict on 2G Scam

Justices GS Singhvi and AK Ganguly delivered the verdict on the 2G Scam today. The above graphic highlights the 3 major points of the verdict. TRAI is yet to study the full implications of the verdict. If a service provider has to renew their license and go for bidding again, then mobile phone call costs may get higher.

The request from Prashant Bushan to have a Special Investigation Team (SIT) review and supervise the CBI investigation of the scam has been denied.

The decision on whether, the Home Minister, Mr. P Chidambaram will be investigated will be taken up at the trial court of Justic O P Saini.
