and on bail for cnet.com here with the lenovo a1 tablet this is a seven inch Android 2.3 tablet it's been priced at around $250 for a while now but we're seeing the price drop all the way down to $199 recently and that's putting it in the Kindle Fire Territory and when you compare it against the Kindle Fire this thing has a lot going for it it has a 1 gigahertz processor memory expansion microSD memory expansion front and rear cameras so you're going to be able to get a lot of those Android features that you're expected out of a standard Android tablet you're also getting the standard installation of Android 2.3 so that comes along with things like Gmail maps and of course the Android Marketplace so if you're already invested in a lot of Android apps through the Android Marketplace you're gonna be able to get those on this tablet whereas with the Kindle Fire you're gonna have to go through the Amazon App Store and do that whole deal so the one big catch for this tablet is that the screen quality isn't great has one pretty bad viewing angle so if you're comparing this against the IPS screen of the Amazon Kindle Fire you're definitely gonna notice a difference in screen quality especially if you're really heavy into watching movies pictures things where the screen quality and the viewing angle really matters Kindle Fire even the Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet it's gonna have a better screen quality for you at this price range so that's the Lenovo 81 7-inch tablet priced around $199 is a great deal if you're an Android fan and you're already invested in the Android ecosystem if you're stickler on screen quality though you're probably gonna be better off with something like the Amazon Kindle Fire receive Netcom I'm Donald you
