Tablet hype is hitting its crescendo and you may have recently asked yourself, "do I really need one?" We have seen some exciting eye candy recently with Apple's iPad and HP's Slate, but the price, is it worth it? I decided a couple of weeks ago to wait. Just simply wait and see how all this tablet stuff pans out. Then, just as I am feeling truly satisfied with my decision I hear about iLet.

Haleron thinks we all need a tablet, and have one set at a price I think we can all afford. Haleron's 7″ Android 1.6 based iLet Mini HAL could be just the tablet that shakes my earlier reasoning. The device is running a 600MHz VIA CPU and will be available by the end of this week for the low price of $199.00. The Haleron iLet Mini HAL will also have 2GB of on-board memory as well as 10GB of “cloud” storage for all of your stuff and will start shipping, 1 March 2010.
This tablet immediately changes the field considering the low price. Interestingly, It’s size is about the same size of a 7″ x 5″ sheet of tablet paper making it just the right size for entering text on the portrait keyboard. It also seems well designed for reading. I have never heard of Heleron but this is a cool little tech-toy!

Interesting device...for me it's comparing to Compaq's Airlife 100 (if it will be released not only in Spain:-) ). I'll wait until it's price is clear and decide then. Nice post by the way
Directly under the photo the word, "Has" should not be there. And the next word, tablet should have a capital T ... that should fix it. ;-)
Thanks. I appreciate it.
I'll give you a hand... :)
I agree, cheap enough to test and not hurt too much if it turns out to be a flop.
I noticed some format issues with my post. I'll have to re-think my format for posting.

I really do not know if I would need a tablet. It is not really handy. But for such a low price, I would like to check it out.
