????最近，如果你曾留意過藥店柜臺(tái)后面的架子的話，可能已經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)，在一堆超強(qiáng)感冒咳嗽糖漿和廉價(jià)的耳塞中，還擺放著一些與周圍環(huán)境不協(xié)調(diào)的商品——廉價(jià)平板電腦。盡管有時(shí)這些低端設(shè)備的名字有些不著邊際，但其市場在迅速膨脹。目前，在蘋果（Apple）iPad、亞馬遜（Amazon）Kindle Fire等產(chǎn)品的帶動(dòng)下，平板電腦市場規(guī)模已達(dá)290億美元，而我們前面所說的這些廉價(jià)產(chǎn)品都在這一市場的低端互相殘殺。下文即介紹其中一些最貌不驚人、默默無聞的平板電腦，過去你肯定沒聽說過它們的大名。

????A report Friday that the Kindle Fire costs a few dollars more to make than its $199 selling price is drawing renewed attention to Amazon's adherence on the "razors and blades" theory. That theory has been around for a long time and has been much discussed with the rise of new technologies over the past few decades. Whether it will work for Amazon is an open question, but the odds may be against it.

Maylong M-150

????俗話說，一分錢一分貨。Maylong M-150就是一個(gè)證明。去年，該產(chǎn)品在沃爾格林藥房（Walgreens）僅售99美元。這款平板電腦搭載安卓系統(tǒng)（Android），其7英寸（18.8厘米）的觸摸屏性能不夠穩(wěn)定，400 MHz的處理器能力有限，內(nèi)置256 MB RAM、2GB的內(nèi)存， WiFi功能極不穩(wěn)定，經(jīng)常掉線。太差勁了。待機(jī)時(shí)，電池續(xù)航時(shí)間為2~3小時(shí)，使用時(shí)只有屈屈1小時(shí)。

Maylong M-150

????You get what you pay for. The Maylong M-150 proves this to be true. Sold at Walgreens last year for $99, this Android-based tablet has a 7-inch and temperamental touchscreen, a weak 400MHz processor, 256MB RAM, 2GB of storage and WiFi that often sputters. The most egregious deficiency? Battery life between two and three hours on standby -- and a paltry one hour while in use.
