The new version, UbiSlate 7+ comes with an earphone. It is true that it wont have features like Bluetooth and Camera, but what else can you expect in this rate?
It also has positive features like accessible to 150,000 apps. It is a good device hence technically not a failure. At least it is a boon for poor people who cannot afford to buy it.
