Decent 7" tablets based on the Allwinner A10 arm cpu can easily be found around 100/150€. http://tabletrepublic.com/forum/cortex-a8-allwinner-a10/ http://tabletrepublic.com/forum/cortex-a8-allwinner-a10/ The performance is not at Tegra3 level, but they provide smooth scrolling and browsing. A cheap google tablet in this segment is a very tempting buy.

Sure, but a Tegra 3 tablet in that range is surely news, no?

  Yes it is. The only Tegra 3 phone around atm is the HTC One X[1]. That seems to go for around $600 outright here in Australia. Even if this tablet is WiFi only it's a pretty amazing price point for an unsubsidized device.

  A very good news indeed. I was already waiting for the release of the original MEMO 370T!

  Yes, before this I think the cheapest Tegra 3 tablet was the ASUS TF300 at $399/32GB and $379/16GB. Knocking $120 off of that (16GB vs 16GB) is pretty impressive, especially since I'm not sure that a 7" screen at the same resolution is actually cheaper. That being said, cheap is not enough. It's just a starting point. The real question is: What can Jelly Bean do on this? And is it enough to compete with the iPad and Windows tablets (not to mention inspire Android OEMs to do better)?

It's a great price point. I only wish I had a particular need for a tablet. As it is I don't even need more than a single-core for reading ebooks, watching video, or surfing (I don't play games), and here comes an inexpensive quadcore. If anything the problem to solve is improving battery life significantly, so we don't need to limit usage if we're out and about for a while. What cool/handy things do you guys do with your tablets?

While it's true you can find decent tablets for 100€, most of them have a problem which has been a deal-breaker for me: the aspect ratio is always wrong. In portrait, circles are squished horizontally; in landscape, circles are squished vertically. I can't understand how that can happen and the manufacturer doesn't seem to notice or care.
