iBall has launched its first tablet with Android OS. So lets check its features and its compatibility of what more it can do!
The Slide looks quite like the typical low-budget tablet that lacks the certain curvaceous styling like higher priced models, but still manages to come across as being neatly put together. The first thing you’ll probably notice is the lack of a rear camera, which is a bit of a downer seeing at a 2MP camera lens is staring at you in the face for video VoIP calling support. The 7-inch capacitive display is actually quite bright and the though resolution i.e. 800 x 480 is identical to the likes of the Beetel Magiq or the Reliance 3G Tab, images appear much sharper and colors a little more dense.
The tablet provides a 7-inch capacitive touchscreen with multi-touch output. A multi-touch output ensures that the user can zoom in at different angles along along with a 2 megapixel front camera with USB host and HDMI output. The tablet comes with an in-build memory capacity of 8 GB expandable up to 32 GB. According to the company, the 4400 mAh lithium-ion-battery will provide up to 6.5 hours of music along with 5 hours of video. Along with that it is also capable of playing Hi-Definition (HD) videos making it an appreciable device for playing movies and videos.
It comes with a 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 Processor making the engine powerful in experience and gaming. Android Gingerbread (2.3) offers the iBall Slide no customized UI. The stock interface is very responsive though and from animations to accessing and opening apps, it’s an extremely speedy performer. The UI worked out to be much more fluid compared to the others in its segment with enough juice to play full HD (1080p) content almost flawlessly. A 1Ghz processor with 512MB RAM powers the tablet while the 8GB onboard storage can be expanded via microSD card (up to 32GB supported). Android 2.3 with the stock user interface runs on the tablet and it comes preloaded with ES File Explorer, ES Task Manager, an 'apk' installer to install third party apps, the full version of Documents to Go, UTplayer and some other India specific apps. A repeated issue we faced was that system volume has to be adjusted via the on-screen icons in the notification bar — there are no dedicated keys for it.
It also features with some 3D games which give us an enthralling experience with some high rated games such as Angry birds 3D and Asphalt 5 and so on. Its connectivity options consists of 3G data connectivity via a USB dongle, Wi-Fi (seemingly with no hot-spot capability), Bluetooth with A2DP and USB 2.0 on-the-go. The browser or e-mail support on this device is as good as any other in the Android range. With Flash 10.3 support the browsing experience is, of course, enhanced. With Skype pre-loaded on the card you can video chat with your contacts via 3G or Wi-Fi. Google’s package of pre-loaded apps like Gtalk, Search with Voice capabilities and YouTube are also onboard alongwith Facebook. What was missing was Google Maps and other affiliated apps like Navigation, Places or Altitude. It is priced around Rs. 13,995 as its latest tablet launched.
