So, what can you expect from one of these low priced tablets, and what can you do to avoid getting stuck with a useless tablet / paperweight? Face it, when you're looking for a device for under $200, you're going to accept some compromises.

Budget Priced Tablet Buying Guide
Undeniably one of the most popular items for holiday shopping this year is tablet
computers. Many manufacturers and sellers have jumped on the bandwagon this year to cash in on the popularity of the Apple iPad

and Nook Color. A quick search turns up literally hundreds of devices ranging in price from about $50 on up, and B&M stores are pushing inexpensive low-end tablets in their Black Friday sales this year.

Amazon Announces New Kindle Tablets and Readers
Amazon today announced a revamping of their readers and tablets. They are now available for pre-order.I am looking forward to more details on the tablets - I've had a chance to use the original Kindle Fire. Overall, it is a nice little tablet but it lacked some key features, most notably an HDMI port and a USB port that's good for more than just charging and transferring files. A microphone and camera would be nice, too - the original Kindle Fire has neither.
