Videocon VT71 vs Lava eTab Z7H+: Indian Budget Android ICS Tablets At War

There was a time when Apple iPad, Samsung Galaxy Tab and BlackBerry Playbook were some of the most popular names in the tablet space. However, with their hefty price tags and high-end specifications, most of these gadgets still remain unreachable to a majority of the consumers in the price conscious Indian market.

When it comes to budget tablet vendors, most of the India based tech manufacturers have shifted to the bandwagon of making such devices as they are gradually gaining more and more popularity.
