There are hundreds of off-brand and budget Android tablets on the market. They typically cost less than the brand name alternatives, but that’s usually because they are awful by comparison, with dull and unresponsive displays, underpowered processors, and lousy designs. Many run Android Gingerbread, which was designed for smartphones, and almost none have the stock Google apps and access to the Google Android Market (only Google-sanctioned devices receive that honor).
