GADGET TABLET ACCESSORY SPECIAL How to turn your tablet into a productivity tool
On
its own, a tablet is more suitable for consumption — but pair it
with the right kind of accessory and you can transform it into a
laptop replacement.
Logitech's Keyboard Folio (Rs 6,495)

Logitech's Keyboard Folio for the iPad Air is a custom-designed folio case and Bluetooth keyboard in one unit. It has It has keys that are roughly the same size as those found on a conventional keyboard. It charges separately from the iPad (using a micro USB port) and the battery should last you a couple of months with ease (based on a couple of hours usage per day).
Seagate Wireless Plus- 1TB (Rs 11,500)
Imagine adding 1 Terabyte of storage to your laptop or mobile device. You can, with Seagate's Wireless Plus. It functions as a regular USB 3.0 hard drive when used with the supplied cable. However, it also has its own rechargeable battery and creates a WiFi network that your mobile devices can access.

Amzer Stylus-Pen Combo (Rs 700)
Sometimes, you want to use a stylus with your tablet — but carrying one around just never happens. Amzer's affordable solution combines a twist-to-open ballpoint pen with a stylus that works with any tablet or smartphone (capacitive screen required).

Just-Mobile
Encore ($59.95/Rs 3,700 + plus shipping)
