If You Absolutely Positively Have To Have A Tablet

Velocity Micro Cruz Reader - 7 Touch Screen Display, Android 2.0, Wi-Fi, MP3 Support, 10 Hours Battery Life, Black at TigerDirect.com. While my experiment with a resistive touch screen cheap Chinese tablet from Walgreen's didn't go well, you can get a capacitive touch screen Android tablet running OS 2.0 from Velocity Micro for $199 at CompUSA. This one looks usable, and, while I am done spending my meager assets to review stuff I won't use for you, dear reader, here is a video that will give you the flavor of the device. If you have to have a tablet, get a WiFi version (no monthly nut, and you can tether it to an Android phone with Hotspot capability when you aren't near a WiFi router) and don't pay $600 for an iPad or a Galaxy. Apparently, CompUSA is discounting the device from the normal $299 price, so it looks like a bargain.
