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 U.S. 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.
