Today's woot (on woot.com) looks interesting (not sure if it's a 120
bucks interesting). It's a 7 inch android dual screen tablet. One
side is E-ink, the other side is a resistive screen. Wifi only 1.2
ghz processor. Not sure if this escapes the "crap gadget" category
or not.

I was driving to NYC yesterday so I didn't see the offering on Woot but...

I hope some lower-end android devices start to show up soon that get wide enough adoption that some of the developers doing root version of smartphones will support them.  I got a 7" one about a year ago running Android 1.6 for only $150.  Sucked that it was a mixed version of the OS, so some is English while many of the apps/tools where Chinese.  (but it did have a color touch screen which was pretty cool)

I think it would be cool to have low-cost input devices for the ADK hacks.
