In all the iPad Mini hoopla today, it was easy to miss that another (slightly less rumored) tablet was released. If $499 for an iPad is too rich for your blood, and you’re hankering for an HD tablet with a large screen, it looks like the non-mainstream brand Android tablet makers are catching up. Enter the Tab-X 9.7 from Arena Scientific.
On paper, the specs sound pretty decent:

Battery and Power |
|

The real cherry on top of these specs is the price, starting at $239! Granted, this could end up being the technological descendent of the knockoff tablets that were sold with resistive touchscreens and poor components for $99 at your local Walgreens…but it is certainly intriguing looking, and a cheap way to keep a toe in the Android market without settling for a 7″ screen (or rooting an eBook tablet like the Fire or the NOOK HD).
