It felt like there was a big wave of cheap Android tablets a few years back. Usually with sketchy brands (either no brand, brand not known for mobile devices, or resuscitated "Grandma's TV" brands), no long-term support, and terrible build quality. The few serious attempts that hit the market-- the Galaxy Tabs and the like-- were as costly as a laptop for a product that was far less compelling than one. I suspect that soured the market on them-- the immediate assumption is that they're trash or toys at best.
