You'll notice most of the little android tablets are under $300.

I think its the Android part itself. No licencing fees maybe? ]]>Apr 22nd 2010 10:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/velocity-micros-cruz-tablet-has-android-2-1-with-full-flash-sup/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/velocity-micros-cruz-tablet-has-android-2-1-with-full-flash-sup/Apr 22nd 2010 10:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/velocity-micros-cruz-tablet-has-android-2-1-with-full-flash-sup/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/velocity-micros-cruz-tablet-has-android-2-1-with-full-flash-sup/

Yea I'd definitely love to see a run through with this device before purchasing. Sounds really good, so probably something missing from the overall experience. ]]>Apr 22nd 2010 10:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/velocity-micros-cruz-tablet-has-android-2-1-with-full-flash-sup/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/velocity-micros-cruz-tablet-has-android-2-1-with-full-flash-sup/

Shitty LCD, slower CPU than the iPad, didn't spend a dime on software development.

Apple made many compromises with the iPad, but a good display was not one of them. I want a tablet that is a direct replacement for a kindle, and none of the competitors measure up.]]>Apr 22nd 2010 11:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/velocity-micros-cruz-tablet-has-android-2-1-with-full-flash-sup/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/22/velocity-micros-cruz-tablet-has-android-2-1-with-full-flash-sup/
