Just as another data point, Vivitar manufactured the $150 xo-tablet, and also is offering a $100 Camelio tablet which has a similar footprint. It has an external micro SD card, like the xo-tablet, but not the hdmi video out.
I purchased one, and contacted the manufacterer, to see if they would document unlocking the $100 Camelio. They refused.
