Three of the cheapest tablets on market remain Velocity Micro CRUZT410, Le Pan II and Archos 501897. More exactly, the three products are priced between $200 – $300, something which allows you to get a brand new tablet without being forced to save plenty of money. Despite their low price, these tablets provide pretty remarkable performances, including fast CPUs, good connectivity and very efficient video characteristics.

Velocity Micro CRUZT410 costs about $290, depending on store, and is included a large display as well as an efficient processor. More exactly, it comes with a 10 inch display using a 1024 x 600 resolution (capacitive touch-screen TFT technology) and an ARM Cortex A8 CPU running at 1 GHz. Apart from this, it shares 512 MB of RAM system memory so you might not be able to run too many programs simultaneously.

This is not the first Android tablet that I present taking into consideration the characteristics of this device as they are presented on CNET.com, because I have done this one hour ago, and for today I have selected another manufacturer. I was asked to write a review about a CNET tablet and one hour ago I have selected Lenovo ThinkPad 1838 tablet computer, a tablet that obviously ran the Android operating system; for today, I have selected to present another tablet, that uses other version of the operating system than the one used by the Lenovo tablet. I am talking about Archos 7 home tablet that comes with 8 GB in the storage capacity. This product has a black color and it is considered a good product on CNET. It has received 3 stars from the editors of this site and also 3 stars from users.

This product has the price of $129.88 and the quick specifications of this product will be presented next. We are told that the operating system ran by this device is Android, without a certain version. I know that Archos tablet usually used Android 2.2 operating system, unlike Lenovo which uses Android 3.1. But I believe that the newest version of Archos can also use Android 3.1. The products type is Web tablet, the part number of the tablet that we are reviewing here being 501521. The screen size has 7 inches and the display resolution is a regular resolution, coming from a screen this small: 800×480. The color depth is of up to 16.2 million colors.

The Flash memory is of 8 GB, as I have said before and the supported Flash memory cards are the micro SDHC cards. The tablet benefits of the Wireless standard which allows the users to communicate with their friends on the Internet without using wires, just like the regular desktops. The standard used by the tablet is 802.11b/g. There is no GPS navigation integrated in this device and if you want to use a global positioning system, you should by a product that is dedicated to this feature. There are integrated some audio components, such as a microphone and a speaker.

A very new Android tablet computer is manufactured by Lenovo and it runs the Android 3.1 operating system, also known as Honeycomb. This product has been reviewed by many sites, one of them being CNET.com, my source of inspiration for this article. I can see on CNET that this product has a price of $589 .

The exact model that I will review is ThinkPad tablet 1838, that has a 10.1 screen size. The parts number of this product is 183825U. I'm not very interested in the dimensions of this product and also not in the weight of the product, but I'm very interested in the color of the device, because it will tell me if the manufacturer wanted to create a serious product or a product designed more for children. The color of this device is black, which makes me to think that this is a tablet computer destined to professionals.

The 10.1 inch screen is based on the IPS TFT technologies and it provides a resolution of 1280×800 pixels. The memory has 1 GB, if we refer to the RAM memory, and the Flash memory, which is in fact the storage capacity, the place where you can save all your personal and professional data, is of 32 GB (I have to tell you that this is integrated; I mean you don't have to use external microSD cards in order to benefit of this amount of storage capacity, although the SD memory cards are indeed supported).

The processor is manufactured by Nvidia, like in the case of many other Lenovo tablets, and it has a speed of 1 GHz. The exact model of this processor is Tegra 2, being based on the dual core technology. At the Communications chapter, we have to mention the Bluetooth 2.0 technology and the 802.11b/g/n standard used for the Wireless connectivity. Do you want to communicate with your friends using not only the Wireless and Bluetooth capabilities? You can do this because this device allows you to use 2 cameras that are built in; in this way, you can communicate with your friends using the video chat capabilities. You have a 2.0 MP front facing camera and a 5.0 MP sensor resolution for the rear facing camera. The product is enhanced with the GPS receiver, that allows you to use better the applications that you can download from the Android Market site, apps related to the GPS technology. Overall, this is a product that can be used by professionals, although I would recommend it to individuals as well.

Do you know what MID means? These letters stand for mobile Internet device and the first one that comes to my mind is Coby Kyros, a product that was described by the CNET.com editors. I will start my presentation by mentioning the price of this product. The starting price is of $176.99 and you can buy this product from 6 stores or at least, this is what you are told on CNET. It is said that this product can be bought from 6 stores, but only 5 of them appear in the list. Who knows, maybe you have to click on some other button in order to see all 6 available stores that sell this product.

I know that I have presented this Android tablet computer before, this is why I will focus more on the prices that this tablet has. So, the first store that appears on CNET is buydig.com and for the price of this tablet computer there is of $179. As long as you want to buy the product from PC Connection Express, you will have to get out of your pocket $199.95. If you will click on See It, you will be redirected to the site of the seller. The third seller is Sears and the price of this product is with only 4 cents higher than the price presented earlier, $199.99. The price of this Coby Kyros tablet is of $192.17 on PCNation.com. And on eBay, you can find this product for only $176.99.

The specifications of this product refer to the Android 2.2 operating system, to the Samsung S5PV210 processor, that has a speed of 1 GHz, to the 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless standards, the 8 inch TFT display and the longer battery life. The shortcoming of this tablet is the fact that it doesn't use Android Market. Plus, you need to purchase a memory card, because it doesn't come included in the package.

The resolution provided by this device is of 800×600, very good for an 8 inch tablet computer. The maximum supported capacity is of 32 GB, but only 4 of them are integrated. The storage capacity is based on the Flash technology. The memory cards that are supported by this Coby tablet are microSD and microSDHC. You will benefit of a front facing camera, a stylus, integrated microphone and speakers, but no GPS navigation feature.

Android Tablet And Gps

Why not get the most out of your phone, if that phone allows you to? The same question can be asked if we refer to a tablet computer. If that tablet uses the GPS navigation, a GPS receiver and who knows maybe a transmitter as well, why not use all of these capabilities with a GPS application created for the Android devices? I am talking about the GPS Status & Toolbox created by EclipSim. This app has been reviewed until now by more than 33000 reviewers, which have offered to it 5 stars. This is one of my reasons for which I have selected this application, from the large range of apps created for the GPS functionality of a tablet or of a smartphone.

The position provided by the satellites which are the source of this app is very accurate, no matter the speed with which you're going. This little software program includes some other tools, such as a compass that indicates the north, a leveling tool, the possibility of marking your position and letting your friends know where you are, although I would not do this (you know how many things happened when other people, bad people, found out that you were away from your home) and the possibility of navigating in those places where you have been before, on a later date. I mean the information remains in your tablet, only that you will access it when you will have the time. If you are driving, most likely you will not be interested to see what are the locations that you can visit 5 miles ago or 10 miles ago.

Like any other app created for Android, you'll need Android 1.6 or later in order to use this app. But this should not be a problem, because today, there are released products that use Android 3.2 or later. This product has been installed by a lot of people; if you enter the Android Market site, where this app is presented by its developer, you will see that the number is somewhere between 1 million and 5 million.

This app is free and it has 455 kb; so if you had any problems that you will have to pay to get information from those satellites that represent the sources of this app or that you will not have enough room in your tablet to store another application, I believe that those issues have been solved by my previous phrase.

Those who buy from China, in general buy wholesale products. If you want to buy electronic devices that are cheaper and if you want to buy more than 100, China is the best place from where you can buy them. I have entered several forums searching for information about which Android tablet created in China or simply sold by this country is the best.

It seems that Flytouch 3 is the tablet that combines all the characteristics that the tablet computer users want. This tablet uses the Android 2.2 operating system, it has a screen of 10.2 inches and it costs $239.95. This tablet is sold on Amazon by Camsdigital. There is also one used product like this that has a starting price of $165. It is considered that not only the software program is advanced in the case of this tablet, but also the hardware components. This tablet uses an integrated GPS navigator, at which the manufacturer, Flytouch, added a GPS antenna. The display provides a resolution of 1024×600, being built using the LCD technology. Taking into consideration the price of this device, which is very low, we don't have to be surprised that the screen is based on the LCD technology. This is the cheapest technology used in the creation of a screen.

The dimensions of this product are expressed in millimeters and are: 269.91×170.45×14.89 mm. This product has received 3 stars from the Amazon’s customers and we cannot exactly say that this is a product that is a bestseller, because it is at the position number 10578 in the Electronics category.

And let's present one more seller and stop, on Kmart you can find this product for $299.99.

The specifications of this product should start with the manufacturer; there are products such as the Galaxy Tab which are not created by a brand name Galaxy, but by Samsung; well, in our case the Archos 101 tablet is created by Archos. Nevertheless, I felt the need to mention this, because I don't know if you knew that. In Europe, for example, this manufacturer is not that known as it is in the United States and I'm pretty sure that the young people which have only heard of Apple and Android, have no idea who Archos is.

The part number of the tablet reviewed by CNET.com is 501594. The screen size of this tablet is of 10.1 inches, the screen being based on the TFT technology.

I will not mention from now on that the tablet computers use the Wireless technology, because all of them use this technology nowadays. I will only name the standard used by the devices, not the fact that a tablet computer uses or not the Wireless technology. In our case, we have to mention the 802.11b/g/n standard. In the case of the Bluetooth technology, we have to name the 2.1 version plus EDR. This device uses only a front facing camera, it has a microphone and speakers. The Archos 101 doesn't use a GPS receiver. It has a lithium polymer battery and the manufacturer offers one year warranty.

This tablet is included in the Web tablets category on CNET.com. The color of this tablet is black, although I think that it is not that important to our review.

And now let's move to things that are really important, such as the screen size of the tablet, the display resolution offered by it and the color depth. These are in order: 7 inches, the screen being created using the TFT active matrix technology, 800 per 480 and up to 16.2 million colors.
