I'm never going to complain about portable computing getting cheaper. If they can deliver on this, it's likely they will have a win, as long as the sacrifices are not ridiculously high to get to that price point.

A tablet must have a front facing camera, which the Fire does not have. If this Kai has one, it might be a contender. If it does not have one, then it is just a waste.

A front facing camera should be standard on all tablets.

PLEASE don't forget the SD(or micro SD) slot!.

Yea Front facing camera would be a nice addition for the affordable tablet segment.
Just don't use a useless cheap screen with bad res.

You mean a front facing camera is a must for you. The Kindle Fire is perfect for what my wife and I use it for.

And as for this taking on the Kindle Fire, I say it is more likely to find its way into the next Kindle Fire. Just my $0.02.

A hdmi slot so you could connect it to your tv would also be nice. Biglots has some android tablets for under 100 dollars. They are actually pretty good. This seems like something I might just get.

I love my fire and have no need for a camera period on it. I personally dont care for cameras on items like laptops and tablets. I dont use one never seen a use for one personally. I personally would prefer a better screen or more memory to a camera on a entry level device like this.

Plus now I dont have to worry about my parents calling to find out how to work the camera on their Kindle Fire.

To save money, I don't think mini HDMI is a necessity. I have one on my phone and used it once to try it out.

Great news, and how many units will Nvidia able to produce? 🙂

I got an Acer Iconia A100 for $180 and it works wonders.

It is definitely a must. A friend almost returned the tablet because it has no mic and camera.

Getting down to $199 or may be even $150 is all we need. Since the damn Apple doesnt really care about selling its product cheap.

 

[eddieroolz]

If Nvidia has a way to force tablet makers using Tegra 3 to conform to a minimum standard on product quality, then that would be much-needed. Most cheap Android tablets feel cheap too.

nVidia -- bringing $200 tablets to a $100 market

Personally, I love this. Only reason I haven't bought one yet is because they are too damn expensive for what I want. The only downfall I see is this will just inflate the ego of iSheep out there. "My iPad costs over $600 while yours was just $200, so mine MUST be $400 better than yours!" haha - silly sheep.
