Hi! This is my first post here! My wife and I are planning to purchase a tablet so I guess I will here often. Times are tough so we thought of getting something below $100. We just want the bible on it to bring to church and something to read on like e-books from the library, barnes and nobles, or amazon. We'd like something to facebook on sometimes too. Some games like angry birds would be great for the kids too!

So far, our choices are the Coby Kyros MID7012 7" Android 2.3 Resistive Touchscreen Tablet and theVelocity Micro T103 Cruz Android 2.0 Internet Tablet - 7" Touchscreen, 512MB, Mini USB, SD, Wi-Fi, Black.
