In order to challenge iPad, Indian domestic vendors have also started exploring the tablet making arena.
According to a latest piece of information, EAFT Technologies, a start-up based in Bangalore, has unveiled an Android based PC tablet ‘Marathon’ to challenge Apple’s iPad.
The locally developed tablet is 3G-enabled and comes with features like USB and HDMI ports, 16 GB storage and HD video playback.
Keeping in view the demands and software understanding of its Indian customer base, EAFT has priced Marathon at Rs 29,990, which is much lesser than the iPad. Though, the lower-end version of the iPad is available at a little over Rs 29,000.
Based on Android OS, Marathon renders users access to the whole spectrum of Android's apps. The company has maintained that its users will reportedly have access to over 70,000 apps and 30,000 e-books. Though the number is far less than Apple's apps market, it’s still going to gain traction among Indian tablet lovers.
The Marathon has been introduced with an initial production run of 10,000 tablets, sources informed. The tablet will soon be available across the country.
