All the three tablets from Simmtronics are eligible for free WiFi access in over 5000 WiFi hotspots in stores like McDonald, Subway, Café Coffee Day, Manchester United, Nirulas, Cocoberry etc.

Other players like Zync and Spice are also present in the segment but are slightly costlier. Simmtronics XPad X1010 seems to be the lowest cost tablet in the 1 inch category.
