The 10" android netbooks dropped to about $120 and I picked
one up. The first gen android dongles dropped under $40 (I
think I paid 36 for mine, but have seen them for under $30)
... Walmart sells Android TV boxes in store where I live--
but they are going for $99.
The Netbooks are interesting to say the least. The build
quality leaves something to be desired... A dollar or two
more in plastic would fix that. The first Gen ROMS,
especially for the Allwiner SOC, are flaky.
Both the dongles (When equipped with wireless mouse and
keyboard) and Netbooks are Handy for: email, playing music,
videochat (Netbooks), streaming media (If you want to fiddle
with getting the apps to work), light web browsing, and
short documents (assuming you installed an office app).
They aren't so good with most games... due to the games
rotating the screen and the mouse pointer isn't the same as
a touchscreen.
I saw somewhere that they had Full Linux distros for the
AllWinner SOC but didn't fiddle with it.
