If you are looking for a cheap android tablet maybe this one is suitable for you. It’s name is Craig CMP742 Touchscreen Android Tablet PC. Pretty responsive for a Digital Touch Screen Device with Double Touch supported on Google Browser, Maps and Photos. It uses Android 2.2 Froyo as an operating system. With 8-inch, I think it’s big enough to give you convenient while browsing internet, reading e-book, or just playing music and watching movies. Talk about storage, this Craig Tablet has 4 GB Built-in Flash Memory. Don’t worry, You can still use Micro SD Card Slot expandable up to 32GB. Please read more information below:
