There aren't a whole lot of choices in the Android tablet market right now, Samsung's Galaxy Tab perhaps the most prominent. It's also fairly pricey.
Enter Velocity Micro's new Cruz tablet, a 7-inch Android slate that's a comparative bargain at $300. And according to Velocity Micro's website, the Cruz is shipping now.
Three C-notes gets you the above mentioned Android (version 2.0) tablet with an 800x480 capacitive touchscreen, 512MB of RAM, 4GB and 8GB bundled SD cards, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, built-in speakers, a microphone, headphone jack, mini USB port, and a Li-Ion battery Velocity Micro claims is good for up to 10+ hours of life (24+ on standby).

FYI, Velocity Micro has decided to not send us this tablet for review. It's a low-end model for non-enthusiasts, and their top-shelf gear will be unveiled at CES. We are trying to convince them to send us a review unit of this upcoming enthusiast tablet prior to CES, but right now all they have are the earliest prototypes from the far east. Stay tuned...

I just tried it out at Borders and it does have access to the Andriod Market. It's geared as a e reader on steriods. I just bought one under 250 for my wife that wanted a e reader. I will let you know how well it does after christmas.
