I would avoid those cheap underpowered Android tablets right now.  I
own one of the $100 Eken M001 tablets that dealextreme sells.  It is
more underpowered than the original Android phone and the resistive
touch screens on them are absolutely horrible.

I keep seeing Nook Colors on craigslist for $150 to $180, I'd buy one
of those instead.  I'm very happy with our Nook Color.  I've had it
side by side with a Galaxy Tab (Spring model) and it is pretty
comparable, only a little slower (the video chip is a bit older).
