“Many have tried to build and sell a $200 tablet; none have
succeeded. Freescale’s tablet prototype could change that. “$200
tablet PCs have been something of a pipe dream. There was the
Crunchpad, which was supposed to be $200, but that didn’t last very
long, coming out as the $400 Joo Joo. If what Freescale showed off
at Mobile World Congress becomes reality, though, the dream may
finally come true.”
