It is going to be tough Christmas if you are a company that plans on selling a potential iPad rival. One company, Maylong, is selling their Android powered M-150 TabletPC at Walgreens for $99 and it’s going to be hard to sell after a review on Ars technica concluded with a verdict of “run screaming in the other direction. ”
Now Best Buy has come to the rescue with great ideas for iPad rivals that just don’t cut it via their BBYOpen blog. Here are a few of my favorite suggestions they had for anyone unlucky enough to find an M-150 or something just as bad under their Christmas tree this year.
Best Buy hooked it up to their Awesome-O-meter. The M-150 didn't even register - are you surprised?The M-150 makes a great cutting board according to Best Buy if you use plastic utensils.I seriously doubt the M-150 will make anyone sexy. In fact, I think I have a headache from just thinking about that.This guy has to be from Texas. We love big belt buckles and rodeo is only a few months away.
