PTCL gave us all a surprise on this Independence Day with the launch of PTCL 3G Evo Tab. I know AndroidPakistan.com has been a bit off-news for the past few days, but hey, we’re back alive and kicking to catch on the latest Android happenings in Pakistan.
Android tablets are becoming the next big thing, and PTCL didn’t want to stay behind in that. PTCL Evo Tab has a 7-inch screen, multitouch display, 800 MHz processor, 512MB RAM, 5 megapixels camera and is powered with Android 2.2 (Froyo).
PTCL was planning an Android tablet for a long time. A few months ago, they were also working on bringing the Motorola XOOM (3G Evo version) to Pakistan, but due to some reasons, they didn’t go with that plan. May be, this will be coming next as a high-end PTCL 3G Evo Tab?
Here is what the official website has to say about the 3G Evo Tab:
Introducing Pakistan’s First 3G Enabled Smartphone Android Tablet—3G EVO Tab. Powered by Google Android Froyo2.2 OS, EVO Tab is a 7’’ capacitive multi gestures touch screen tablet packed with features of both a tablet and a GSM phone that lets you surf, talk, tweet & do a lot more simultaneously on-the-go in more than 100 cities nationwide.
Now let’s move on to the tariffs at which this PTCL 3G Evo Tab is being offered.

Didn’t Google specifically say NOT to use phone os like froyo and gingerbread for tablets and use Honeycomb which is specially optimized for Tablets. As far as i know you cannot access the android market from froyo/gingerbread that are installed on tablets.
You guys shouldn’t be a shill for companies that are looking to sell crapware.
If a product isn’t good tell your readers that it isn’t good. And they should save their money for a better product.

——————–DONOT BUY THIS—————-This device is completely useless. I bought it. it costs me 32K. I cannot do browsing on my PC using tethering. Tried to watch movie on it and it hanged forever. No way to hard reboot or remove battery. No help from help line. They say they do not have training for trouble shooting evo tab. Complete shit.

Well, I bought it for 35K. I can browse on my laptop using evo tab. I can watch moives. In-case if it hangs I can use a common pin and reset tab by pressing the reset button (using common pin).
I agree with you about PTCL customer support that is a real shit and yes, they are not well trained people.
