Android 4.0 tablets Coming for under $250

     TABLETS WITH SCREEN sizes of up to 10 inches and Google's Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich OS)will soon become available at prices ranging from $100 to $250. Some of them run on phone processors and may lack the power of Apple's iPad 2. But with cameras, high-def video functions, and HDMI ports, they could offer good value to budget buyers.

     ViewSonic's $170 ViewPad E70, which is set to ship this spring, will have a 7-inch, 800-by-480-pixel capacitive touchscreen, a MicroSD slot for expanding storage to up to 32GB, and Micro HDMI port to connect to HDTVs.

     Other inexpensive Android 4.0 tablets include the 9.7 inch Nextbook Elite 10 from E Fun (due in spring for about $229 ), and Velocity Micro's 7inch Cruz tablet T507 ($150) and 10-inch Cruz Tablet T510 (about $250), both scheduled to ship in late February on early March 2012. Also in the first quarter, Coby was to launch a range of models,starting at $179 for a 7-inch version.
