If I were to say, it’s raining tablets in India, that would still be an understatement. When we started TGF, we were expecting to write a lot on the tablet pc’s aka mobile Internet devices. We never expected to write about them so much and so soon. This might be the seventh tablet PC we are covering in less than a month.
Wespro Digital has a MID called ePad and the cost of it is Rs. 7999. This by far is the cheapest tablet available in India. Binatone Home Surf is available for Rs. 8990.
ePad’s specs are comparable to the recently launched
Accord @Pad. If I were to go through them it would be a copy paste except for few things.
Wespro ePad’s specifications :
Processor: VIA WM8505 400MHz 
Operating System: Google Android 1.9 OS
Display: 7 Inches Display Screen
RAM: 128MB
Internal Memory: 2GB Nand Flash
External Memory: Expandable up to 32GB with TF Card
Built-in Wi-Fi: 802.11b/g
File Format: Support MP3/WMA/MPEG4/MPEG2/MPEG1/3GP/DIVX/XVID
Battery Backup: 4-5 Hours
Functions: Internet surfing, information searching and News reading
Multimedia: Play Music, Movies and Online Games
Battery: Li-polymer 7.4V 1400mAh
Weight: 0.42kg
Size: 20.3 x 13.6 x 1.0 cm
Ethernet connectivity and the package contains the connector too.
Wespro ePad and Accord @Pad run almost the same processor. Not sure if there was a typo or not but, both run a 400 MHz VIA processor. ePad runs a VIA WM8505 and @pad runs a VIA VM8505. Wespro ePad runs Android 1.9 operating system unlike @Pad which runs 1.7 out of the box.
Weight of ePad is 0.42 kg which is far less than @pad’s weight of a one kilogram. ePad costs less than @Pad by one thousand rupees.Weight and the price are two things which make Wespro ePad a better bet than Accord @Pad. Another notable feature is the ability to play DIVX/XVID file formats which none of the other MID’s have offered. If video playback is your key criteria then ePad could be your MID of choice.
Posting this review with hope that this might be useful to a potential ePAD, specially Wespro epad buyer, or for that matter anybody interested in buying one of these Chinese low cost MID’s what they call. This is based on a Wonder media chipset from VIA.

Very little RAM and low speed. No Bluetooth, very very poor wify with a range of about 5 feet only. Cumbersome 3G, which will work in 1/5 cases only.
After my complains and sending the unit from Kolkata to Mumbai 2 times, I got a replacement and I am using the 3rd unit now. First time power button was not working, second time wifi was completely dead. And I had to go to service centre, pester them to take this product and send to head office. They even had the audacity to ask me to courier directly to Mumbai, if you ask how is the service.
This time wifi is working but battery drains in 1 hour, wifi works in single room only, if you cross the door it will break. This is not my version. I demonstrated this to the support people at their Kolkata office too.
The Android appmarket, the interesting part of Android free OS is fake here. This is a Chinese app market with no proper apps. Most important, this is a huge security too. You would think this is Google appmarket and give your Google login id and password here unknowingly, but you just gave the Google credentials to a Chinese hacker! When I pointed this to Wespro support people they said they cannot do anything on this as the OS comes pre-loaded from China.
They will tell that the OS is upgradeable to Android 2.1 and the support people will give a url – http://www.4shared.com/file/LfNuEVIV/Android_21.html This is also fake. The OS is not 2.1 but same Android donut 1.6.
So you end up with a toy which even your child won’t like to play with.

in a bank or invested wisely elsewhere, why not take the car of your dreams on the
driving holiday of your dreams. Companies are trying out Fiat leasing over the regular options of buying.
