Whilst unveiling the Micromax Funbook, Deepak Mehrotra, CEO, Micromax said, “Fun and education are two important elements of a youth’s life; they always try to balance between what they “have to do” and what they “want to do”. With the launch of Funbook, we are offering a smart solution to solve this dilemma, and we believe that Funbook will help create a balance between the two.” As we haven’t got our hands on one yet, we’ll reserve our comment about the performance of the Funbook, but, IBNLive did get a chance to review the Funbook and the overall result was that the tablet was pretty impressive. In their review, they mentioned that in this whole market of China products, the Funbook holds its ground. With India being a market for durable goods, the Funbook is a definite winner.
