Indian company Mitashi, maker of video games, TV's and DVD, MP3/MP4 players and so on, has dipped its toe in the tablet market with the Play BE100.

It's billed as a 'first of its kind Business Entertainment Tablet' with a 7 inch display, Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0, 1GHZ processor, 512MB RAM and has the option of a KB 100 Keyboard, aiming it at the business market.

The entertainment side of things is covered with video recording, built-in MIC recording with support for all the main audio/video/text file formats. It also has full USB input.

You'll get around 4 hours of browsing the web on a single charge which doesn't seem much, and for an Android tablet it doesn't seem to support ODT files, but supports Word, Excel and PowerPoint. It also doesn't seem to support Ext 4, but only FAT, FAT32 and NTFS.

It will be selling for 6790 Indian Rupees with the optional keyboard at 1299 Rupees.
