Why I love my iBall Slide Android 2.3 tablet

When everyone is talking about the fastest and the most badass tablets on earth, here I am raving about a Rs12000 tablet. We are currently at a point when quadcore tablets would become a norm of some sort. But my needs are very basic and I need something that would suffice what I really, really need.

So what  do I need?

• I want a device that disconnects me from power chords. And any other cords, for that matter.
• Keeps me mobile even when I am accessing digital information.
• Gives me internet on the go.
• Pocketable and easy to carry. And not a pain to handle.

What do I want to to do with it?

• Surf in internet, access mails and chat.
• Access some social apps.
• Read some books and play some music.
• Watch videos and movies.

All dream ports that you want in your tablet.

Without going through the BS of how I bought this device, here is why I bought one.

Pros

• Surprisingly, a very responsive screen
• Good display quality
• Access to USB port and SD card slot.
• 7 inch screen (very convenient)
• Decent audio speakers onboard.
• And most importantly, Price point

Some cons that I will have to live with.

Cons

• No sim card slot, but there is provision for a 3G dongle through USB port.
• Android 2.3. Already ICS (4.0) is coming in all new devices.
• 720p playback. Which is half HD.
• A bit chunky and not that stylish.
• Confusing button structure.
• Need to purchase a mini to regular HDMI cable.

USP

• Low cost means I don’t have to be extra protective about the device. Yet it is sturdy enough for a little rough handling.
• Preloaded apps to manage unnecessary background apps. I hate android for allowing apps to activate on their own. There is a limited provision to set apps not to do so.
• USB port can take 32Gb and the SDcard slot can take another 32GB. Inbuilt space is 8GB. So a total of 72Gb can be played with at any given point. That's awesome!
• A hard boot always comes handy. Though I never really have had to use it yet.
• iBall has done a very limited customization. But they sure come handy and I thank them for that. Especially the ESTask Manager and ES File Explorer app.

So there you are. A short and to-the-point reason for my choice. The only thing you need to be prepared to do is swallow your pride when someone next to you is on a Samsung Galaxy Tab or a iPad 2 and you are with this gear.

It’s ok, you made a smart move and are not a show-off  :) 

Cheers!

When you rise in life,

Your friends know who you are.

When you fall down,

You know who are your friends.
