Eken M001 Android WIFI Tablet

This looks really good. Its a 7" tablet with wifi running Android 1.6. It is also cheap enough to use as a simple e-reader.

Apparently it has a very responsive and accurate touchscreen (although I don't know if it is multi-touch), an accelerometer, and a nice set of built-in features and installed apps (including e-reader software). One review said that is also has a built-in 1.3Mp camera, and will also support an external hard drive of up to 16 GB (through device-specific docking port?). Even without the camera it is a bargain.

The big downside mentioned in most reviews is that it has a poor battery life. Another question is how easy it will be to upgrade to Android 2.1.

• 600 MHz WonderMedia PRIZM MW8505
