I wonder what you mean by "cheap" . . .

I bought my wife a NextBook 10p12 for 147 leva = $85 which runs Android 
Ice-cream sandwich; she says that
it is not up to an iPad but it is good.

Personally I think the only thing that annoys her is that it does not 
have a front-facing camera.

However, I notice that that model is available at $120 from Amazon US.

I notice that ebay has a lot of Android tabelts: but whether as many as 
200 of the same model I just don't know.
