India is the world’s second-biggest and the fastest-growing market for mobile phones, although computer penetration is still low. Apple Inc began iPad sales in India in January this year, while Samsung Electronics launched its Galaxy Tab in India in November last year. Bharti Airtel’s closest rival, Reliance Communications this month launched a tablet computer priced at 12,999 rupees.
