When Tablet PC first introduced globally and when I came to
know first about Tab PC (in 2010-2011) then my opinion was like, this device is
far better than Smartphone’s configuration, feature and price etc. (except in
size). I was eagerly waiting to buy one of the branded Tab PC or at least
unbranded Tab PC whichever come first in India and when it suits my budget
and suitable specification to grab it.
In early stage, branded Tab PC price range was higher than
Smartphone and it was equivalent to branded laptop price or more. At the same
time, Tab PC’s fever among people was very less and people were either using
Smartphone or Laptop or their favor and fever. Few people were behind the iPod,
iPad and other Slate devices.
Tablet PC revolution in India
Thanks to Kapil Sibal (Minister of Information and
Broadcasting at that time) for Television interview on Tab PC introduction of
Datawind’s Aakash Tab PC brand (with less price Rs 2500 to Rs 3500 based on
different set with different configuration). At the same time, many customers
filled up online form at official site of Datawind / Aakash to buy it. Aakash /
Datawind’s website sometime never worked, busy, sometime no response from them
and many months or years no delivery of it. Its publicity increased though the
device was not seen yet (receiving it handy is like a miracle) except some
clips of media news as it is being distributing with discounted price to few
student in few schools at very few regions in India.
Whoever wrote article about Aakash Tablet PC in their blog got
more traffic during those days, this is the only benefit Bloggers and Media got
it. I recalled about Landline phone registration and installation process from
BSNL 20 years back, more or less the same process and duration taken place to
release the product.
Disappointment from Tab PC seller in India
Applicants fed up on this process of Aakash Tab PC for many
months and some for years without reply from them and without receiving it
handy. Some people used to blame the politician and company on this, some blame
against their own destiny. Few media news made even ‘Breaking News’ and
political agenda on this. At this point, another headache starts from BSNL as
they announced that they are about to launch similar configuration Tab PC
called Penta Tab with same price. Broken heart begun to part, luckily those
days we got some good news for Tablet PC’s quick launch and availability from
private company like Samsung, Toshiba, Amazon Kindle, Noble Nook and so on with
Android OS features in them.
Now, people again came to know that there are many
types and specs of Tablet PCs available in different price ranges. One is
without SIM Tab PC and other is with SIM, few double SIM option. Next is,
Resistive touch screen (for that you need to have extra power to swipe or who
will give you capacitive touch screen in that price) and some Capacitive touch
screen (for that you need to pay extra). Some memory in-built was 256 RAM and
few 512 RAM (extra price). Some Android Froyo OS (2.2) for basic price and few
Android Gingerbread OS (2.3) expensive one, internal memory was maximum 4GB and
they gave option of expandable memory. The study was going on, Branded Tab PC
(Samsung, Amazon Kindle etc.) price was higher than Aakash and Penta Tab price comparison
of course.
Result of unbranded Tablet PC
Considering this situation, finally, I planned to buy any
unbranded Tab PC (with low price of Rs 3000) just to show others that I have
Tablet PC in my hand without anyone’s expectation of releasing date (other
might think that I have done smart work). I got it one to do some experiment on
that (some of them ready to buy similar one); it is purely China Made but
unknown brand from India / Delhi with guarantee till
purchase only. It has reasonable configuration without SIM option except hard
swipe (Resistive touch screen), there was no issue against this device for few
months (may be lucky enough) except poor battery performance, even if there is
an issue then there is no guarantee nor its customer service center is available
to solve the issue except at own risk from other local technician to get it done
fixed.
I was using Tablet PC for the following reason;
* Tablet PC carry out simply like Mobile
* Use it for WiFi connection outside or at any event
* It helped me as mini-laptop (attaching external Tablet PC keyboard and mini mouse) while my laptop gives trouble for browsing or other urgent works
* Touch integrated
* Smartphone to Tab or PC to Tab communication
* When Android is required
* When some files or videos to open with Android files extension
* When kids needed games to play like Angry Bird and Temple Run etc.
Later, I realized that branded Tab PC like Lenovo's Yoga Tablet is far better than unbranded one
(though price is little higher), it is just because of that my Tab PC Ethernet
card damaged due to my mistake thus unable to get it back suitable for it except paying
Rs 1000 and above that too need to wait for many days, plus no re-sale value
for it. We need to just imagine, we pay extra for getting less benefit from
unbranded one which we ourselves doing big mistake. So, go with branded one always like Yoga Tablet whether it has benefit or not, at least you will get good result overall like
worth money investing or Paisa Vasool, this is reality and this is the Betterway.
