This should in fact set our future trend where we serially spin off high tech companies from our large Defense Industrial Conglomerate without effecting their primary tasking . My own estimation is that we could put more than several billions of Pak Rupees back into our economy along with creating several hundreds of new job oppurtunities every year, if we follow this lead.We did that more than 20 years back when we spun off LT Engineering Company producing Optical Fiber and Cables along with technical services into the market place which has over the years generated more than 30 Billion Rupees business along with hundreds of new jobs creation apart from helping our Telecom Industry to take off with provision of larger band widths availability. My only regret is that we may have already wasted a lot of time in-between and we could take a lead or two from the Chinese Model where there Public Sector has been in the drivers seat for taking their economy to a different level and pushing China into the second largest economy of the world.Lets open our minds to this new phenomena taking place all around us and enter the global market with our full potential rather than sitting back and sulking about the missed oppurtunities. Regards to all my cyber friends and lets be optimistic about it. Engr.

Lets say today the device is not of an international standard in terms of quality or support, but it does represent a step in that direction- so if you dont like it dont buy it, but do not discourage or disregard the work.

However, I doubt if we can really purchase it online and get it delivered overseas. This portal http://www.cpmc.pk/place-your-order-2/ does not even provide to specify a country and concentrates more about your job role.
I purchased the cheapest one from http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/170762354526?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 a few months ago for my kid but found it fairly poor quality in terms of touch screen and response time. Comparing this with PAC PAD, it has almost similar specification except the processor type (IMAPx210 and ARM11) but price looks around 5 times low. So, its not a bad deal at all.
Regarding warranty and support, considering low priced product, it doesn't really matter as long as it is working when it is delivered.

My hunch is it will fade into distant memory in 6 months. The bottom line is it takes lot of resources past sales. I hope I am dead wrong. Good Luck
Thanks Ahmad for pointing out such a great piece of information. In my opinion Punjab government should replace laptop with tablet PC to students preferably with home made. Clearly tablets PCs are feature devices and it will be great if our kids are already trained on them. I'm equally disappointed by Jahan Ara's view (if its true), we give them a lot of public money and we deserve some thing out of it other then weapons but I do agree it should be done under a spin off rather then PAC. if regularity is a problem that's a totally different issue Regards,ISHTIAQ AHMAD -- Dr. Ahmad Ali Iqbal Ph.D. (EE), University of New South Wales (UNSW), Australia Security Specialist & Developer, ICT Security, North Sydney, Australia Security Consultant, Mi-Token Inc., USA Visiting Research Fellow, National ICT Australia (NICTA)
