2nd August, 2012, New Delhi: Micromax entered the world of budget tablets earlier this year with its Funbook priced at just Rs. 6499. The tab had a 7 inch screen, 1.2 Ghz processor and the brand new Android 4.0 operating system. The device, which was aimed at the urban youth, was sold 125000 units since April.
Following the success of Funbook, the company has launched Fonbook Pro priced at Rs. 9999.
