The tablet market has been shaken up (in a good way) with the Google Nexus Tablet, but for those of you looking for something bigger than the 7" form factor, you'll still have to go digging for a deal. Right now, Amazon.ca has a interesting candidate -- the Le Pan TC 970 9.7-Inch Multi-Touch LCD Google Android Tablet PC is has been discounted to $259.00.

Make sure you understand what you are buying here -- this is an older tablet it runs an older version of Android (2.2 Froyo). With that said, the Le Pan TC970 Tablet is does have a great great display (the same panel found in the original iPad), microSD expandability, loud speakers, and sufficient horsepower (a 1GHz processor and 512MB RAM) to competently handle things like 720p video playback and most internet browsing. With 278 customer reviews on Amazon.ca, it has an average rating of 3.8/5. It's a bit dated as far as tablet experiences go, but we haven't seen better at $149. It's a viable option if you're not going to cross the $200 price point.
