> Plans: As per official website, UbiSlate will come with an unlimited mobile Internet at Rs.98/month.

That's roughly $2. What am I not understanding here? Is there no coverage? Is this for WiFi? I'm all for cheap, unlimited mobile Internet, and I think American offerings are overpriced and underprovisioned, but I don't think $2 is possible.

Rs 98 / month is for 2 GB of EDGE data per month. That is the normal charge in India for every mobile customer. This is not a special tariff for this tablet.

Seconded. I currently live in Bangalore and pay just Rs 400 (about $8) per month for blackberry services + unlimited 3G usage. I had this Rs 98 plan a few years ago when I was in college and didn't have a 3G capable phone.
