Not only for students but also for all professional who use to handle lot of documentation as large amout of documents can be saved the only problem is that the system could be developed for 3G as well lets wait for 3G in this cost.

does this TAB has Camera,Wi-fi,bluetooth,and does it support android apps??
Hitul says:
October 11, 2011 at 10:44 am (UTC 5.5)
No it does not have camara,Wi-FI and it will suport android apps but onw drwaback is that most of apps need minimum 600 Mhz processor which it does not have so forgot about huge market support.Also No 3g so on edge speed will be so low so we cant surf good.
