Mukesh Ambani readies plans for low cost tablets in 2012

Unlike cellphone in the days of "Monsoon Hungama" tablets today are a completely different segment. In those days smartphones were almost non existent & at that time main purpose of cell phones was to make/receive calls.. In today's scenario tablets have important hardware on which they run & function. Each part affects the overall experience. Even if Reliance tablet is highly subsidized to sell at a cost of Rs. 3k. Its unlikely that it would have sufficient muscle & its hardware would definitely be severely limited affecting its speed & overall experience... Also don't forget that Reliance has a history of getting greedy pretty soon...
 
^ if a 10-12k tablet is more than enough in terms of hardware then i hope my last post's logic holds good....:smiley-cool06:
 
^. You cannot compare a 3k tablet to a 12k one in terms of hardware power & when it comes to Indian consumers they are always finicky about price... We all know the phone provided with Monsoon Hangama scheme was very limited & same would be for a 3k tablet. You cannot expect most people to get the tablet priced @ 12k in India for mass connections... Common consumers would avoid it & hence limiting the chance of a successful proposition for Reliance...
 
^ you didn't read my second last post did you? I talked there about the probable financing model of a 10-12k tablet.

That may or may not work 'coz in today's high interest rate period, financing companies or even Reliance may not take that chance...
