Last year I spent a little more than that for a 4.3 inch Android tablet. At the time I was using a "feature phone" (pretty much for voice calls and text messaging). As limited as it was, it was pocket-sized and surprisingly useful (again, in the absence of a smart phone). I take a lot of trips up the NY Thruway, and it was nice to use Google to check on traffic. I used the rear-facing camera to document some miserable weather -- just 0.3 MP, but it was good enough to show water cascading off a roof. And it had some fun applications to kill time.
I have since upgraded to an Android phone, with the same screen size. It would have been worth it just as an intro to Android on the phone.
I have 7" and a 10" Android tablets (very inexpensive, but not useless) that get a lot more use, but I do still have the little one. I don't use it much these days, but I'm very happy I got it. It was definitely a worthwhile purchase.
