Starting from the Ice cream Sandwich Android 4.0.3 Operating System and ending with lowest price, Penta T-Pad is clearly the winner in its category.

Weighing against Micromax’s funbook, though it carries latest OS but its usability remains an issue, with just 512MB RAM. The speed of the tablet is very slow. Unlike Penta T-Pad, it takes a while to process the commands. Another shortcoming includes low battery back-up. Internet tablet pc is popular because of their movability and low battery back-up just ruptures the whole purpose.

Next with HCL Me, it is highly priced yet not technically sturdier than Penta T-Pad. It loses out to Penta T-Pad on various measures including less RAM, lower internal storage and worse battery back-up.

All-in all, BSNL Penta T PAD IS703C stands strong as a winner, with an added advantage of BSNL subsidized scheme of free data download of 7.5GB for 3months. So, when are you buying your Penta T-Pad?
