Android 4.0 Based Winknet Ultimate TWY300 Tablet With 9.7" Screen Launched For Rs 15,000

Winknet has launched the Ultimate TWY300 tablet, which the press release claims is the "thinnest and lightest." It has a 9.7" screen weighing 643 grammes, and it is only 9.8 mm thick. We're assuming that the company is talking about Android devices, because the new iPad is thinner at 9.4 mm, and only slightly heavier at 652 grammes.

The slate runs Android 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and is powered by a 1.5 GHz CPU with 3D accelerator and 1 GB RAM. It features a 10-point capacitive multi-touch IPS panel with pixel dimensions of 1024x768. Internal storage is 16 GB, expandable to up to 32 GB using a microSD card. Wi-Fi connectivity is featured, in addition to support for 3G dongles via USB. An HDMI-Out port allows you to use the device's HD 2160p (3840x2160) and even 3D Full HD (1080p) video playback capability on a big screen. An 8000 mAh battery is provided for a claimed 10 hours of music playback or 6 hours of browsing. Here are the complete specifications:
