Both Intex iTab and Micromax Funbook features a front camera. Micromax Funbook is powered by Android Ice-Cream Sandwich whereas Intex iTab is powered by Android Gingerbread.

With all major software and hardware specifications, these two tablets attracted the world of youth with its low price tag. However Micromax Funbook with ICS scores over Intex iTab as ICS version is considered to be the most stable OS version now available in the market. However when it comes to features, Intex iTab matches quite well except for messaging features.
