but you can't argue with the price.
Maybe not me, but they can.
And how many ssh users actually check the key fingerprints and verify they match those stored on the remote host? Is that even possible in most circumstances?
Hello, have you ever used ssh? As in, at all? It raises a holy hell if the keys have been tampered with.
$ ssh hostname.tld

The RSA host key for hostname.tld has changed,

The linked tablets have the exact same specs as the indian one mentioned in this story. So if you're going to diss the specs, you can start right with that one. And no, you don't run an old GNU/Linux distribution on these tablets, you run a tailored version of Android. Which runs pretty well with 256 MB of RAM.
Actually here's a better model and $2 cheaper http://www.aliexpress.com/product-gs/439643437-Free-shipping-NEW-7-Inch-Android-2-3-256M-4GB-WiFi-Tablet-Pc-wholesalers.html
Everyone touts it as the second coming, some great breakthrough etc. Well here's one for $55. $10 more? Yes. But with free worldwide shipping included.

+ thousands of other models.
People thinking a tablet is called an iPad and costs $500 or whatever and you can get nothing cheaper, should get a reality (or an Aliexpress) check.
