I have a Velocity Cruz T301 which I picked up for $170. It does have a

of ARM processor. It's fine for what I wanted to do. Velocity is a US
company around since the early 90s that started out selling PCs. It is
a Chinese made device. It is weird as their is no Android ID so I don't
know outside of a locker system one would ever roll their own DRM. Plus
it won't connect with the ADB. These tablets remind me of the
inexpensive HD camcorders that several years ago appeared on the market
and I actually bought 3 they were so cheap (sold one).

By having an Android API but no Android ID, you mean that they
downloaded Android and built it themselves, rather than obtaining a
binary from Google?

I may be wrong but I think most devices are built that way. After all
the manufacturer has their own hardware design they have to implement
the OS on top of and an off-the-shelf image probably won't fit. The
only unique identifiers are the MAC addresses and a serial number which
is not identifiable through any software calls even though it is
displayed in the Settings. I don't know if any of the other non-Google
API tablets are this way.
