Submission + - The 50 Dollar Android Tablet

YokimaSun writes: In these days where times are hard and we can`t all afford iPads with their high price, Kindle Fire which although cheaper is still around the $150 price and promises of a $10 dollar laptop which later shot up to $100. Android News has found an Android Tablet that sells for a measly 50 Dollars, for that you get a 7 Inch screen, Front Facing Camera, 4GB of Expandable Storage and an OS running Android 2.2 Froyo. For that price though do you get a usable Tablet ?
