Not being sold at at New Egg, but I see Archos 7 and 10
internet tablets, for about $300, running Android 2.2 out of
the gate, and seemingly well supported as to following new
releases at Angstrom

I have devices at older Android levels (it is not clear they
have the processor 'horsepower' and ram to support later
Android levels, which I imported directly from China) being a
couple of essentially unsupported, no-name development
chassis. I will be seeing about building trimmed down
versions, and loading later Android versions over the mext
couple weeks, via the Angstrom builder
