3 edits | Interesting development in the low end Tab market Used to be all the cheap ones were AT BEST 2.3 more likely 2.0 with no upgrade likelyhood.
Now suddenly even on the low end almost everything is ICS... not to say its going to perform top end well. But likely Google market access previously a frequent problem with the low end.
And yes likely much lower horsepower and video display low performance... but still interesting to see Android 2.x completely gone forever on any kind of current tablet.

| Right! But the entry level tabs cant be compared with the regular banded tabs. They might give a good for money, but users aren't amused.
$69 tabs look good in headlines. That's it! |

Not true at all I have tried a couple given the price were quite satisfactory. None that cheap but the low $1xx area, that were quite capable, just not quite as fast, and only adequate screen, but again worth the low cost, and much less worry about what might happen to it.
A nasty rainy day or place I don't want to carry it/might loose it the ASUS Transformer stays home and the cheapo 7" goes in my back pocket.
Depends on your expectation....and no a basic Chevy will never be a Ferrari

Biggest minus I see is that it has a resistive screen which are not near as responsive and accurate as capacitive ones, that you would find on ones like $20 more

The low end never seems as appealing!
A refurb Xoom for $250 with shipping seems far better. |

Just wait till the google / Asus comes out this month. That will change things. |
