Another entry in the tablet wars is the Novo 7 Crystal tablet from Chinese manufacturer Ainol, priced at only $139. This tablet features a dual-core processor running at 1.5 GHz, 1 GB of RAM and 8GB of storage. The tablet's 7-inch screen has a 1024 x 600 resolution and weighs only 328 grams, or less than three quarters of a pound, and it's running Android 4.1, also known as Jelly Bean.
