New Amazon tablets go downmarket

[Insomniator]

Its $50, from a real company with actual support. You can't cry about the specs, this thing is being sold in PACKS. Its great for kids, people that just want to try out tablets, don't use them that often etc...

Yeah if you are going to use it 4 hours a day as your main computing device, you should prob save up for a better model but to say 'omg 10x6 lol' is pretty stupid.

I hate to go all 'Apple' here but seriously; 300 is the minimum acceptable PPI for mobile screens in my opinion. I'm getting a Z5 Compact and it took me a lot of time to finally forgive the 319 PPI it has and preorder it. I do remember not noticing a huge difference in PPI when I upgraded from the Nexus 4 to my current Nexus 5. This wasn't the case when I went from the Galaxy SII (my first smartphone) to the Nexus 4. Therefore, I'm a firm believer of the 300-PPI-should-be-the-minimum rule.

Problem is, Amazon doesn't really have any. All their models are bottom of the barrel.

It is surprising that they did not keep even one model with a higher resolution screen for movies and TV shows they sell.

So I just found out that the 'cheap' 7" one is £50 in UK. Hmmm $50... £50... $50... £50... $50... £50...

$1 = £1

Damn you Amazon. Damn you!

That sure is mighty fine green looking grass you have over there America. I would like some of that on my home turf, very much so :/

I guess if you can only afford $50 then the Amazon tablet might be OK but it seems like you can get a much better tablet if you spent just a little bit more.

This Asus Memo 8" tablet is only $85 and it's 1280x800.
