If past touch tablets were ridiculous expensive there is also the other side of the coin: too cheap. But how cheap? Well, the Hivision SpeedPad will retail for around 100$, or at least that’s the projected price. If this news seems unbelievable for something to be worth your attention think again: it’s got everything you need, 7 inch screen, Samsung ARM11 800 MHz CPU, 256 MB RAM, 2GB internal storage, Android 1.6 OS, WiFi, support for external Bluetooth, 3G, GPS modules and 6 hours battery life, all for the price of a cheap smartphone.

    Hivision is now a world known manufacturer but I do hope it manages to mass produce the SpeedPad. At 100$ there’s no reason not to buy one if you plan on doing occasional browsing, even while on the go. The 800 x 480 pixels screen is up to that task and if the OS can get upgraded to 2.1 version I’m sure it will be a bestseller.

    Hivision SpeedPad: you can't get any cheaper than that
