Sylvania's 7-inch Android tablet now ready to....

Not down with coughing up serious cash for a serious Galaxy Tab? Great news, Bargain Ben: you've got options. Joining the raft of cut-rate, low-priced tablets is a new one from Sylvania, which is humorously described as a "7-inch MID tablet." Details are scarce, but it's rocking Android 2.1, an 800 x 480 screen resolution, six-hour battery, 512MB of RAM, 2GB of Flash memory, front-facing camera and a microSD card slot. You'll also get 802.11b/g WiFi, a pair of mini-USB sockets, HDMI output and what we're assuming is a resistive touchpanel. We'd say the chances of Android Market access are slim to none, but for just $179.99, who really cares if it functions?

How About Turning a MacBook Into a Tablet for $50

We've featured one DIY MacBook Tablet before, but this particular model takes a very different approach, modding only the screen itself for a cheap, usable tablet computer.

Unlike most custom Mac tablets, this mod doesn't include any extra parts besides the touch screen itself, which hacker Enigma-penguin got for less than $100 around $50. The computer doesn't have a swiveling screen or anything like that—it's just a backwards-facing touch screen, accessible by cutting off most of the lid.

Obviously, it's still a pretty heavy mod, and the project isn't for the faint of heart. It costs quite a bit less than other similar projects, though, so if you were disappointed by the iPad, it's probably the most accessible Mac tablet mod out there. It's still a work in progress, but only needs a few more touches, and looks pretty usable in most situations. Hit the link to read up on the full project.
