Android 2.1 Tablet PC-aPad-MID-7 TFT Touch Screen-ARM 11-Telechips 8902B-720MHZ-256 DDR2-2G-Wifi-Camera(SMQ5821) - US$ 169.99. While I am on the subject of cheap, impulse buy Android tablet computers, here is one that runs Android 2.1, and has features similar to the $99 Walgreen's special I posted about yesterday. I don't know whether I can upgrade Android 1.6 on the Walgreen's unit I bought to test; however, at these prices, why not? The last movie I took the kids to cost me around $40 for tickets, and $40 for popcorn and candy. The movie only lasted 2 1/2 hours too; but, the battery on these things recharges, and you can watch thousands of Netflix instant movies on them forever. Great Xmas stocking stuffers, and a great replacement for the hundred bucks worth of candy and junk toys you put in those things every year.
What is with the 7 inch screens on Android tablets. It seems like Apple found the sweet spot at almost 10 inches. It has to have some practicality. At what point do you just abandon a small table for your Droid phone?
