Pandigital Nova $170 Gingerbread tablet up for grabs at BestBuy

Actually BestBuy cell phone calls it Pandigital Nova Electronic Reader, hinting in the lack of Android mobile phone Market assist - you have to load apps from SlideME, or even as .APK records. An 8" "ActiveTouch" display (whatever that's), Android Two.3 Gingerbread, HDMI-out interface, and 4Gb regarding internal memory together with microSD slot pertaining to expansion aren't anything to jeer at for this price. You also get a miniUSB vent and two camcorders, which might make 600x800 resolution far more bearable.


Like with Pandigital's previous slates, your Nova has immediate access to the Barnes&Nobles e-book series. The 8-inch "digital reader" is actually pretty lean at half an inch, and weighs 15 ounces, again not too poor. If you can tummy the fact that there is no official Android Market and other Google Services support, the actual Pandigital Nova seems like an inexpensive alternative for that occasional exploring and movie on the chair or while traveling.
