$150 tablet touch screen at K-Mart. Be funny if it's better than the iPad!

I just might have to get one of these.

I wouldn't be surprised if its not just as good or better.

I'll be interested to see how a 150$ tablet from K-Mart really stands up.

Based on what I've read so far, I'm betting it'll be unimpressive at best.

Looks great. If the screen is capacitive as opposed to resistive, this could be a serious budget contender to the iPad. If they sold these in the UK, I would get one.

Admittedly, I'd probably buy one of these for the kids... At the price, it's definately hard to beat.

No way in hell even close to iPad. It probably cost $20 to make.

You'll be sorry if you purchase this trash=mega imcompatability problems & poor support.

Yeah, if it is capacitative (sp?) it would be awesome. I really, really like my Droid that I've had for about 2 months. Every day I discover something new, and it is great for me to keep on top of all my crazy moving parts. I think of it as my REALLY portable computer. I'd be willing to take a shot on a $150 tablet...

Well it will probably be compatible. Thats not the issue. Quality is the issue.

Yeah right...this POS is gonna be better than an iPad...and if a frog had wings he wouldn't bump his ass a-hoppin'

You get what you pay for

But can you make a friggin phone call on it?

more stupid trinkets and toys

take your $150 and buy seeds and garden tools

For that price, if it's half as good as the iPad then you have a good deal.

No K-Mart here in the Netherlands but i am sure i will be able to buy it somewhere.

once froyo is dropped, it might work fine.

I'll be waiting - never buy the first edition of anything...I like to wait for the kinks and bugs and the lower price :o)

And hey - this thing does have a USB port! Isn't that something the uberexpensive iPad forgot about? o.O

I might get one, specs seem better then the expensive Ipad. USB!!!

Just wait they will be cheaper yet.


$35 Dollar Tablet Will Cost $20, Eventually $10

Depends upon how good it is for surfing and mail.

I bought a netbook just for mail and a little surfing when traveling and it does OK but not great. All I need is something so I can easily check my mail and send mail and do the occaisional web search, and at this price this may fit the bill IF it is lighter than my netbook (2.3 pounds + power supply)

I have no desire to spend $500 for something that will eventually get trashed as I travel so Apple's iPad while nice just isn't going to cut it for me.

One item that would be nice would be UBS ports and an ability to plug in a data modem such as Verizon or Sprint so I wasn't limited to just "hot spots".

A little faster and wait and do something

so much "iPad" hate around here...

I like the iPad but I already have an iphone, and to me It's an over-sized iPhone/iPod Touch.

Wow, what a comprehensive 30 second clip.

I'm convinced, what a piece of shit!

I bought the asus netbook for school, general surfing, and email. I am having a problem witht email but everything else is great. I was even able to load Microsoft Office 2007. Yeah, its not touch screen but it does what I want it to do.

That's moronic.

[b)been using android since they 1st came outTHEY ARE AWESOME!And 2.1 is a great os

TigerDirect had refurbed Gateway 10.1 inch, 1.8ghz/1gb 80gbHDD with WINXP Home for $199 last week...

You can make free phone calls from any PC or pc like device with a mic. and speakers/headphones.
Because of the rise in popularity of data plans many manufacturer have been forced by service providers to put limmitations in there operating systems to stop certain forms of data calls or tethers. Blackberry got fed up and made there phones available to other providers. The andriod operating system had tethering for intenet network sharing removed in v.1.6 at the demand of Tmobile. The aledgadly open market of "andriod market" no longer will alow any tethering apps on the market that provide network sharing features thanks to verizon they cant even be downloaded and istalled in a none rooted device.If you root an andriod device there are endless apps one could make and download. Googles andriod is the only os that I know of that actually suggests owners to root aka "jail break" their devices so they can meet up with the origanal purpose. Anyone who bought an earlier model will see how much the os changed after verizon made a contract with them. Verizon ruins everything always.
