Eken’s $100 Android MID
When we first spotted the Eken M001 MID, we immediately liked its honest nature. The M001 didn’t claim to be an iPad killer, or boast ridiculous specs and decades of battery life; it was simply cheap, and proud of it. Now, Shanzai.com has discovered the tablet is exactly what we expected. Running Android 1.6 with a VIA WM8505 processor, the device is pokey with terrible battery life, and the 7-inch, 800 x 480 resistive screen has noticeable lag. Still, the M001′s moderately capable; think of it as a digital photo frame with tablet functionality — like the HP Dreamscreen, but affordable and battery powered — rather than the other way round. Were it readily available stateside, we could see a few souls actually picking it up for $680 RMB (about $100)… but definitely not the $200 Haleron asked for in February. Video after the break.
