However, if anyone has any experience with these types of off-brand tablets (that might fit the bill for the OP), I'd be interested in hearing about it... the thought of a 9" Android tablet for under $100 is tempting.
Bought a couple of Ainol 7 Advanced tablets a couple of years ago for the kids from

Just the ticket and useful HDMI out, so plug into TV at hotel.
Also, bought several phones from them too.
