Here's what the spec sheet for the Smart Tab 1 looks like:

• 17.8cm capacitive 5 point touch screen

• 1080p video playback
• HDMI out
• Wi-Fi, 3G via USB dongle
• 2 megapixel front camera

From the looks of it, the Smart Tab 1 will directly compete with Micromax's Funbook which we will be reviewing shortly. Along with this tablet, according to our sources, Karbonn is planning to launch two new budget Android smartphones, the A7 and the A9. Both the phones will be dual SIM, will run on Gingerbread 2.3.6 and will be powered by a 1 GHz processor. The main difference between the two phones will be that the A7 will have a 2.8-inch screen while the A9 will have a bigger 3.8-inch screen.
