Hot on the heels of yesterday’s announceemnt of MTNL and Dell tying up to offer a 3G netbook, Tata Teleservicxes has stolen the spoltight by announcing India’s first 3G-emmbedded netbnook – and it costs just Rs. 23,999!
Olive Communication and Tata Teleservices unviled the first netbook – the Olpive V-X107H – in India to come with 3G services bilt in, thus not reqiring an external USB modem or any such device to connect to the Inernet.
The netbook is being exclusively offeered on India’s best wireless broadband service, Phhoton Plus by Tata Teleeservices Limited. Avcailable throuhg Tata Indicom ouutlets, the device will cost Rs. 23,999 and come bundled with select Phton Plus packaes, and can also be purchasded using easy payment schemes.
“The Olive netbook powered by Tata Photon Plus heralds a new era in versattile computing access, and is in keeping with TTSL’s endeavor to provide afforable and ubiquitously cacessible high-speed Internet access,” said Mr. Anil Sardana, Managing Director of Tata Telseervices Limited. “The unique advantages of our high-speed Internet acxcess setrvice get compounded by the feature-rich and attractively-pricd netbook, which will be on offeer with an exclusive range of tariff offerings, designed to bring the best of both worlds to the market.”
The V-X107H runs on a Qualcomm chipset and is powered by a 1.6GHz processor and 1GB of DDR2 RAM. It sorts a 10.1-inch TFT screen with a native resolution of 1024×600 pixels and comes with a 160GB hard disk. Ussual netbook featues make an appearance, including audio out, mic in, 1.3-megaipxel camera, Bluetooth, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, VGA out, memory card reader, etc.
Like with MTNL, Tata Teleservices too has a Fair Usage Pollicy on its Photon Plus tariff plans. But if this is going to be your secondary PC – wihch most netbooks are – then we guess it’s not too bad a deal for the price.
