eFUN Intros $299 7" Next7 Tablet: 1GHz, Android 2.3

Here's an oddball. While most Android tablets hitting the market these days are doing so with Honeycomb onboard, eFun is trying something...different. Their new Next7 tablet steps down to the pocket-friendly 7" form factor (similar to the original Galaxy Tab), and offers a 7" capacitive screen along with Android 2.3. It offers built-in Wi-Fi, ASTRO File Manager (for sideloading applications), OfficeSuite Viewer, SlideME App manager and Kobo eBook Store. It also uses a powerful 1GHz CPU, 4GB of memory, an SD card slot, 25 pre-loaded books, an MP3/photo viewer, built-in speakers and G-sensor. So, while you have to deal with Gingerbread, you are getting a break on pricing; it's set to sell for $299.99 starting this week. We're guessing that it'll be limited in functionality, but a $300 tablet with a 1GHz CPU? Hmmm, maybe Android 2.3 ain't so bad!
