Not bad. Depending on battery life, this could work quite well as a eReader.

This thing stomps ass all over the Sony Clie' I bought in '03 for $300.

Is the memory upgradable in it, I got loads of extra DDR.

I'm a bit embarrassed to have worked on computers with lower specs than that.

hell I remember when specs like that would have had people drooling.

Hmmm. Interesting. Might have to keep an eye on this.

Lol, I occasionally STILL work on computers with far less than that.

Hell, if you had 256MB of RAM before 2001, you were a GOD! I remember buying 256MB of RDRAM in '02 (bringing me up to a whopping 384MB!) setting me back almost $150!

Not too bad. However, it looks very simulair to the apple's iPad. Notice the "home" button?

I wonder when Apple is going to take notice about that?

I'm more interested in the eLocity a7 w/ Tegra2, accelerometers, capacitive screen, etc. It's cheaper than the Samsung Tab, but with basically the same specs.

In the market for an e-reader, and this seems like a good choice if they ship internationally.

I always worry about stuff like this when i cant try them out though. ifits going to be slow and sluggish, i'd rather settle for the reduced features but nicer setup that the kindle offers. I'm just sick of having to be sat at my PC to read my e-books.

Resistive? Last time I checked it's 2010.

 

[Guest]

you guys crack me up.
of course it's 2010.
it's also $99 because it's 2010.
some of you need to realize you can buy electronics at the dollarstore that used to cost alot more years ago in retail stores.
old technology is cheap as time goes by, because everybody "can do it" (especially when the patents have expired)

The influx of cheap tablets are nice, but it might give users a wrong impression of the entire Android line...much like OEMs make Windows look bad with crapware.

I'm not sure if I have much use for a tablet, but I might be willing to try one out at $99.
