Here in the US, they try passing off these low-end tablets as alternatives to more expensive options like Hazel. Currently, ShopKo has a Polaroid tablet on sale for around $90. While having a capacitive screen, it still has a single-core processor and no Google Play. It may be good enough for basic web browsing and light tasks like music or video playback, but seeing as how Angry Birds is becoming more full featured, such apps will start chugging on single-core tablets.
During Black Friday... the market gets filled with such tablets.
As for Lilly... already Windows 8.1 is showing better performance than OSX. It starts up more quickly that OSX, and it seems far more snappier when doing simple tasks such as navigating files. I'm going to get some of my common apps to gauge performance, like Winamp and VLC.
If all goes well, I will skip the All-in-one PC and set up Lilly v2.0... Windows primary (likely Windows 7 Home Premium or Pro) with OSX as secondary. I need a faster system for my Adobe CS applications anyway.
I love foxes, especially the one in my avatar.
