Below $100: HiVision SpeedPad Android Tablet
One of Android’s initial goals was to lower the cost of manufacturing “smart” devices, a savings that could/would be passed onto consumers. The cheap labor in China certainly doesn’t hurt and HiVision showed off a 7-inch Android tablet at CeBIT 2010 that will cost only about $100. Check out the video snagged by JKKMobile:
The company claimed “under $100” but an exact price, date and location remain to be seen. Fortunately the company DID include specs displayed front and center:
