At $300 or less, I find the Acer Iconia A500 tablet to be one of the most affordable REAL tablets. It has the Nvidia Tegra dual core, 32gb ram, mini and regular usb slots, gps, micro sd slot, tactile feel and more. I've actually seen it go on sale for $275, and that is so cheap for a tablet of this quality level as to be surprising.
The Gtablet may be found cheaper, but the return ratio is massive because of a broken OS and stupid design. I rooted mine and installed several OS's on it, eventually keeping Cyanogen. The Acer has been a zillion times better and lower in cost.
