Hi Radha, the app was available in my friend's Samsung Note. This must be available in PlayStore I asume, Haven't checked myself though.
Hi Prashant, I found the Accessability Options in Settings menue of the Funbook. So far, I had used the Tab for brousing Internet mostly. there are few inbuilt options there. I had to take sited person's help in activating those. Another irritating thing I found in Funbook is that, You cannot use the devise seemlessly, as it keeps you asking username and password in lot of apps all the time. I am feeling, using Android mobile is better accessabilitywize than the Android Tab, I don't know why.
