Software and Apps
Micromax Apps for Childrens education and Video Lessons like in previous versions of the Funbook come pre-installed and are like always a great feature for students.
A predictive text input and touchscreen QWERTY keypad help enhance the messaging experience. Music file formats like mp4, wmv, avi and mov are supported and Youtbue videos can be easily viewed on the internet.
TV mode for live streaming of TV channels is a great feature and JPEG pictures formats are supported.
However it is the built in voice calling and 2G support that is the most attractive feature here. The VoIP client is downloadable and with all that available at a competitive price range of Rs 7000, it is definitely an excellent product and might end up being a bargain for the customers.

MTNL Lofty TZ100 Tab
MTNL in collaboration with Teracom has finally made its foray into the tablet market with the launch of its three new tablets in the Lofty series. The MTNL Lofty TZ100 has to be labeled as the best of the lot though, with features that can give the rest of the manufacturers a run for their money.
MTNL Tab Lofty TZ200
MTNL Lofty TZ200, launched in tie-up with Teracom is an Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich based Tab. Its Rs 6,499 cost may seem much more than Lofty TZ300, which has similar features, but it is the capacitive touch screen that makes the difference.
