There seem to be a few sub-standard Android tablets around at the moment. A high-street clothing retailer in the UK recently released one for £180, which was also entertainingly panned by the press:

“All in all, a disastrous piece of gadgetry.” http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/thereporters/rorycellanjones/2010...

“If this were a car it would be roughly in the category of a Robin Reliant from a couple of decades ago.” http://www.pda-247.com/wordpress/2010/10/next-10”-tablet-rev...

A common concern is that these products will damage the reputation of Android as a platform, and I suspect that’s true.
