I looked around for a bottom end 9" tablet - and found one for US$65 delivered, but that was nearly two years ago. Dual core, 8GB of flash, 512MB RAM, Android 4.2, WiFi, dual camera, screen resolution only 800 x 480. I haven't put a lot on it and it's too slow for multitasking. You get what you pay for.
It's OK, though. I've found a nice jukebox app that runs on it quite happily, so I will be setting it up in an old jukebox (the half-sized type) I rescued from the kerb.
It would be interesting to see what's on offer now.
