Oh, yeah.
List-priced at $249, but that's a $199 10" tablet without question.
(An iPad2-class tablet, no? i.e., year-old specs at half the going rate.)

Screen's not great but it's not offensive: 4x3 aspect ratio, XGA resolution.
My (very) old TC1000 runs XGA at 10in and reading on it is fine but that is in MS Reader (Cleartype!). Coolreader has very good anti-aliasing so this might do.
A tad heavy by current standards but MicroSD is a big plus at that price. The camera has resolution on its side, at least, even it can't natively display what it captures..

You're not going to watch much HD video but if your interest is reading, web surfing, and viewing PDFs it just might do. When it goes on sale, of course.
Not quite DOA. Heh...

Edit: If the screen were only 1280x1024 I might bite...
