Tablets are the flavour of the season and India doesn’t want to be a laggard in the race. Bangalore-based EAFT Technologies recently launched the Marathon tablet which is manufactured in India and even the applications used have been developed in India.
The Marathon is an Android-based tablet and is 3G enabled and includes other features such as USB and HDMI ports, 16 GB storage and high definition (HD) video playback.
EAFT is also planning to launch three variants of the Marathon in the next few months. Nitin Khanapurkar, Executive Director (Advisory Services), KPMG, said, “Price will be the key differentiator and the Samsung's Galaxy Tab is at a comparable price range to EAFT's Marathon," he adds.
"What will make Indian tablets much more competitive and alluring is the bundling of a low price and area-specific apps or local apps those consumers won't get in any other global brand," said Vishal Tripathi, principal research analyst with technology analyst firm Gartner.
Marathon is being launched in India at Rs 26,990.
