Amazon Tablet Could Be Cheap
Amazon has taken their Kindle eReader down to some ridiculously price points, but in the end it is really an ereader, and nobody would think of it as a tablet.

The Motorola Atrix showed us that the dividing line between smartphone and netbook is not as immutable as once thought. On top of that, smaller 5″ and 7″ tablets blur the line between tablets and smartphones as well. Many of us would love to have one device to carry, as well as one data plan [...]
