Mercury has launched cheap Android tablet mTab for a price that will surely turn heads - Rs. 9499/-. The budget android tablet rivals with Beetel and Reliance 3G tablet which was recently launched. The mTab features 7" LCD screen, 1.2 GHz triple core processor and 512 RAM. The specifications tell us that the tablet is going to be speedier than its rivals, but we'll wait until we get hands on. The tablet runs on Android 2.3 gingerbread and has 4GB of internal storage. Of course there's microSD card slot that can ramp up the storage to 32GB.

There's 1.3 MP webcam, IEEE 802.11b/g Wi-Fi and you can have 3G facility through an external dongle (waa!). The tablet is pretty thick @ 19.3 X 11.7 X 1.4 cm and measures cool 400 grams.

Do you think the specifications justify the price of Mercury mTab?
