You can get a decent Android phone on Virgin mobile - the Optimus V. It was originally $149 but they recently marked it up to ~$199. $25/mo gets you 300 minutes and unlimited data/text.
Boost mobile is getting an Android phone soon too (price still pending).
There's no need to have an expensive plan to have a decent Android smartphone unless you demand Verizon-quality wide coverage.
Coverage on Virgin/Boost is Sprint with no roaming - so it's no Verizon, but coverage is still good in cities, highways and such.
As far as tablets, it is impossible to beat the Nook Color as far as bang/buck, but if you don't want to root/flash/etc, the next best option is probably the Samsung Galaxy Tab wi-fi ($350).
I have a buddy who had the Pandigital Novel, it's not bad, but it's nowhere near as good as the NC. Frankly the cheap $100 ish tablets are not really worth the money IMO.
