$99 Android Tablet at Walgreen’s this ChristmasPosted by: Cody HahnOctober 27, 2010This Christmas, Walgreen’s will offer an Android tablet on their website.  Walgreen’s is going to offer their tablet for just $99 (marked down from the $129.99 original price).

The tablet being offered is named the Maylong M-150.

The Maylong tablet runs the aging Android 1.6 OS and is assumed to not come with access to Google Marketplace.  The display on the Maylong tablet is a 7-inch (800 x 480) resistive touchscreen TFT LCD display (comes with a Stylus). The 7-inch tablet is powered by a ARM9(VM8505+) CPU and comes with just 256MB of DDR system memory.

The Maylong M-150 tablet for storage comes with a SD card slot. Other things featured on the budget android tablet includes USB, RJ45, built-in speaker (1W) and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g connectivity. The tablet weights only 12oz., is 0.3? thin and is supplied a 1500MA Li-Polymer battery (no word on the battery life).

As a lower end android tablet the specs are impressive considering the $99.00 price tag. I wouldn't mind getting one of these under the tree instead of that itchy sweater. This would be a great starter device for those who want a tablet and don't want a $399.99 commitment with a contract as with the Galaxy Tab. So keep a look out on Walgreen's online, these are sure to go fast.

Here is the Walgreen's Link go check back often. They are currently out of stock, they are expected to have more in the future. They wouldn't sell out before Christmas.

That design is a huge iPad rip off.

For $99, this doesn't look too bad, and someone will hack the market on it and custom 2.2 roms probably. If someone sucessfully hacks it i may pick one up and do the same.

Call me when it is rooted and overclocked.

Actually, don't even call me then. That resistive screen is a deal killer.

Why does it have an "Internet Explorer®" "e" in the bar at the bottom?...

Still probably worth the price if it's hackable.

Hmmm, Walgreen's dispenses its biggest tablet:-)

How does it have no internal memory? Where are the apps saved? Can you only use the apps pre-installed? Unless there's some sort of Apps2SD for 1.6 that I've never heard of...

Reply ›Cody HahnOctober 28, 2010

apps r stored n the 256MB DDR aka "system memory"

I'd used Tablet but Market's unavarable for download appliction which I want. Maps Google Search don't show on monitor.

There are alot wrong with this tablet: resistive screen,version 1.6, 7" screen, no market.
The up side is the cost
