Thanks to a tweet from Kathy Schrock, I became aware of the Haleron $199 mobile device/tablet that runs on Android OS! Find out more at their web site. That is priced pretty close to my desired point…

You can get more details at this link. Some of the ones that jump out at me:
- 7-inch TFT LCD touchscreen display
- 800×400 pixel resolution
- 600 mhz CPU
- includes 128MB DDR2 RAM,
- wired 10/100M Ethernet,
- wireless 802.11B/G connectivity
- 2GB of on board flash memory but this can be augmented further with flash cards (up to 32GB) and a USB drive (up to 250GB)
- 1 SD port, 2 USB ports,
- a stereo out as well as a microphone in port
- Support for the major file formats (AVI, Motion JPEG/Video MP3/Audio, ePub, text, eBook formats, Microsoft Office)
Hmm…the iPad lacks a microphone, right?
So…anyone have a list of EDUCATION-focused Android apps yet?
