It has a HDMI port, Micro SD slot, 3.5 mm audio out, Micro USB port and OTG connector for 3G Dongle and RJ 45lAN cable. A statement by the manufacturers said Daksha is capable of 1080p full HD video streaming and has dedicated 400 MHzGPU for advanced flash Apps, Interactive Apps and full HD videos. Daksha is powered by 3,800 mAh li-Pol battery which gives a back up of over 6 hours with WiFi on. “Even though the Indian media tablets market witnessed high decibel launches by the world’s leading vendors, the Tablet PC market in India is a niche market that is quickly picking up the pace in terms of adoption,” said C.R. Nijesh, chairman and executive director, Telmoco at the launch. Telmoco Development labs Pvt ltd is a company initiated in electronics research and mobile technologies. Attitude Daksha is initially set off to launch at schools, professional institutions, and corporate houses and will be available to the public from 15 May. IANS
