They should also think of releasing a version with some thing similar to Gorilla glass touch screen. This may probably be priced appropriately higher, but I think this wonderful company should have that model too in their collection.

In India people are fed up buying gadgets made out of china. low quality is the hallmark of Chinese made goods. We have to wait and watch at 2500/- rs what is stored stored for us , Can it really perform at least one task properly.?
