Normally I wouldn't pay much attention to a negative review of an android tablet, I'm very happy with my iPad and am not in the market for another tablet in any way, shape or form... but the headline to this review caught my eye.

Worst gadget ever? Ars reviews a $99 Android tablet

It's a tablet being sold at Walgreens for $99. And like most "cheap" things, it seems you get what you pay for.

Also, at the bottom of the page in a "update" is a link to a Best Buy review, saying it had found some "additional uses" for this tablet. Click that link. It is EPIC.

Too many...
Haha. I actually bought one of those on eBay some months ago but it never got to me. It's probably a good thing that it didn't and I got my money back:)

Hahahhahaha! A family member bought a Coby with Android 2.2. I hate the thing. It's a bit better than this thing but not much. Some of the complaints fit the Coby. In portrait mode, you try and type and hit say an A key the Q types. No matter what I did. It's better in landscape but you still have to type carefully. I told them pay a bit more and get a Reburb 16GB iPad. No, this will do. :D

Now they hate it and never use it! :D

Absolutely wonderful! :)

I especially like the photos from the Best Buy site.

Nine months old, but still entertaining. Favorite part was when they said the battery "barely lasts longer than a drunken fratboy in bed."

How did I miss such a wonderful device? The Best Buy response was worth several minutes of laughter.

Unfortunately, the Maylong M-150 is the very epitome of "race to the bottom," and anyone looking to buy one would get more bang for the buck by setting it on fire for warmth.

That made me laugh. :D
