Great tablet for the price, works smooth. Battery is ok though. We can install google play through a .apk file but it is not needed. I installed all the necessary apps like facebook, opera, messengers, games through apktops.com
3rd party android market like applanet can also be installed & used. Using tata docomo 3g dongle with it.
I would say this is a great choice over micromax funbook because this is definitely better quality & this is not network locked like the funbook. Any 3g dongle/net...

do you all think that micromax funbook is better than hcl me u1 then you must be mistaken? Hcl me u1 is having the best features in this price range.
Pros:-(With a comparison with micromax funbook)
1 its the most durable tablet because it has been made by a polycarbonate frame which is also used in nokia lumia 710,800 and 900.
2 it has the largest battery life in this price range,3600 mAh.
3 its looks are just and fantstic. Not like micromax funbook which gives you a cheap feel.
4 its touch...

Micromax funbook is better option than HCL ME tablet

Funbook hv 1.2 ghz Hcl having 1.0 ghz
Funbook support google mkt place. No google mkt place support by hcl
most important price i got funbook in 5850.

So before buying HCL ME U1, I was wondering whether to buy ME U1 or Micromax Funbook.

Let me tell you one thing guys.. ME U1 Tab is awesome & definitely worth a buy ! And if you are wondering how to install apps not available in Me Apps because you can't access Google Play, please don't worry !

There are lots of sites like www.apktops.com which offers free download of all apps & it updates on daily basis..I installed close to 12 apps/ games from apktops like Temple Run, Kindle Reader, FB Re...

I bought this from a store in Mumbai. I was in a trip to Mumbai and bought it from there since the price at that time was higher in other places. The 2nd day its display died. I took it to the HCL Care, Kochi(I am from Kochi) and they said that(after 2-3 days) the case is DOA(Dead On Arrival). They gave me a paper and told me to take it back to Mumbai(wt???) so that i will get a replacement. Since I could not travel 1500kms just to replace a small tablet, I insisted on a repair. It took 2 we...

Actually it is effectively a wifi tab...that is its capabilities can be used well only on a wifi connection..also the fact that it is not a calling tab I.e. no sim can be placed in it, therefore Internet pack can't be employed for Internet. Also it is although OK OK to use but also the fact that it is a little less smooth (but still workable) than other tabs which may even have better features like calling etc.
Also that it has slots for SD card as well as for Pen-drives.
Very importantly, i...

This is a good entry level tablet with nice build but there are better options available from good companies offering more features at this price. Plus point is the good support that HCL can provide all across India.

Device is awesome. No big trouble. Here is the detail of product.

This product doesn't charged through USB so you need to have 2 thing everytime USB & charger.

This device never shut down from the menu. I hardly remember if anytime it's goes shutdown. Everytime I sit with this device I also have a GEL pen to reset it first.

This device doesn't allow you to run Google now (incompatible) & google voice record (incompatible). None of microphone app can be run on the device.

When app can call...

It is difficult to install playstore on ME U1. But there is a way out.There is another simpler way. What we want is applications available on Google play store. For that ,download the application on any android phone. Transfer this downloaded file to a PC. Then connect your Tablet to the PC and transfer the File to your Tablet. Now run the application and install it . It works. I tried various ways of installing Play Store then found this is a simpler solution.
