DataWind breaks new price barriers with lowest cost phablet in India

NEW DELHI, INDIA: India's leading supplier of tablet computers, DataWind launched new additions to its line to tablet computers, led by the UbiSlate 7Cx.

At a retail price of only Rs.3,999 inclusive of all taxes, the UbiSlate 7Cx is the lowest cost tablet computer with cellular connectivity, allowing anytime and anywhere Internet access with a regular SIM. In addition to regular voice calling functionality, the UbiSlate phablets incorporate DataWind's breakthrough web-delivery platform covered by 18 US and international patents allowing the devices to deliver the fastest mobile web experience on regular GSM-EDGE based networks.

"Despite the recent drop in value of the Indian Rupee, we are committed to bringing affordability in computing and internet access to India's masses. With this commitment, we've held strong and not increased pricing of our products, and instead, now are introducing new products with breakthrough pricing," said Suneet Singh Tuli, president and CEO of DataWind Ltd.

DataWind also introduced its first product operating on a 3G network with the UbiSlate 3G7 at only Rs.6,999. For those with access to 3G networks, the UbiSlate 3G7 provides broadband speeds with an embedded UMTS modem, without the need for external dongles.
