Well you might, if you’re really only interested in browsing the internet, this $130 device(but Color will cost you $170) could very well interest you, see my likes and dislike on this subject.

When I 1st saw this when it came out Of CES I thought his was interesting, but since then, a gang load of affordable Tablets have come out, which does everything the Dash does, but a whole lot more, although not as affordable as $130(except the HP firesale, or the Philly News Tab announced today) but the Dash is not a Tab, it’s more for house moms doing kitchen work and such(no disrespect to the hard working Moms!) But it’s not a Tablet, just some widgets and channels powered by a basic web browser -_-
