I was hesitant to write about this, as we know almost nothing about this Android tablet; even the company that produced it doesn’t have any information on their site. Still, for such a low price it’s worth even a quick look.

The Acorp 5″ Rockchip 600mhz ARM9 is currently running Android 1.5 while in pre-production. The dimensions are similar to that of the Dell Streak. Given the price, it’s unlikely this could be a gaming device, but I’m sure you could find plenty of other uses for this sub-$100 device. Check out the video for a little hands-on action.

    sounded like a good deal until….

    Acorp is releasing the EM501R, 4.8″ Android Rockchip RK2808 powered tablet to be sold at only $88 (for distributors buying at least 1000 pieces). This is the Acorp 5″ Rockchip 600mhz ARM9 based Android tablet. This sized tablet fits just fine in most pockets and provides better view of web browser, video and apps than on a 3.5″ phone.
