[ale] Cheap tablets?

[agcarver+ale at acarver.net (Alex Carver)]

Anyone using one of the cheap Android tablets that you can pick up from 
Walmart, Big Lots, etc.?  I had a crazy idea, if it was cheap enough, to 
use it as an auxiliary screen for my desktop where I can do things like 
run tickers/crawlers, micro web pages that refresh every so often, and 
that sort of thing.  It wouldn't be a daily driver sort of tablet (I'll 
get a Nexus or Galaxy for that; this thing would stay plugged in sitting 
on the desk) but a little 7-inch screen full of crawls would offload 
that stuff from my main screens.
