The tablet seems a very tempting buy @ 4k. I have a Huawei E173 3G modem which the tablet supports. Anyone already have this product.
A good user review and I will buy this immediately.
 
I'm thinking of buying this for my friend. Is this tablet the best I the range of budget of 4500 rupees?

He needs it for reading books(ePub), browsing , playing videos.

Is there a software available on the android store which will enable him to transfer files from a PC to the tablet wirelessly?
 
I want an app which will transfer files wirelessly over a local wifi home network.

Using Dropbox will consume Internet bandwidth which I don't want to do.

Is there an app which will connect & transfer files from the desktop computer using FTP/SMB/AFP?

I have ordered the tablet for my friend.

Can someone tell me if the stock android 4.0.3 that will come pre-installed contain crapware?

If yes, what should I do to install a clean malware-free android setup?

Also, what are the bet practices to ensure that my friend will have a relatively smooth android experience?
 
The novo7 is 12000 rupees!

I was looking for a budget tablet in range of 3-4K for my friend.

Anyway, I've ordered the 701c penta BSNL tablet.

Hope it's not too bad.
 
I want an app which will transfer files wirelessly over a local wifi home network.

Using Dropbox will consume Internet bandwidth which I don't want to do.

Is there an app which will connect & transfer files from the desktop computer using FTP/SMB/AFP?

Wifi Explorer (as mentioned earlier), Wifi File Transfer and AirDroid are just few of the several apps that would do this for you.
 
Can anyone provide a decent external storage solution for this tablet?

Is micro SDHC card the preferred solution? If yes, what brand & the price? There is class 4, class 6 micro SD cards. How do I know which will be compatible with this tablet?

Or should I get USB pendrive?

Also, since my friend has never used android before, what are the essential apps/tweaks for ICS 4.0.3 to ensure a good android experience which will enhance battery life & stay malware free? Is there an app which will detect if the android tablet came installed with some virus/crapware?
