    A trio of new tablets from Energy Sistem (a company known for low-end PMPs and e-readers) may not ordinarily turn many heads, but if you look closely at these you'll notice they don't quite match your average budget-minded slate running Android 2.x. They're not actually running Honeycomb, unfortunately, but rather a "Honeycomb-style" skin that's been slapped on top of Android 2.3 (much to the displeasure of Google, we presume). Otherwise, there's decidedly few surprises to be found -- you can choose from a 16:9, 7-inch or 4:3, 8-inch screen (with the higher-end model topping out at 1024 x 768), and they each pack an ARM A8 processor and either 4GB or 8GB of storage (with a microSD card slot for expansion). Prices are also expectedly on the low-end, running between $185 and $270, and all three are set to ship on November 19th. Hit the link below for the complete rundown.
