The Impression series running Android 4.0, from Leader International, will launch at CES as a value minded tablet with high performance capabilities. Leader International has announced a 9.7 inch and 7 inch size tablet running the new Android 4.0, aka Ice Cream Sandwich update.
A big step for tablets under the $300 mark, the Impression 10A will run $299, and the Impression 7A will run $179 at MSR pricing.

Folks like Steve Jobs actually changed the way the average consumers use stuff. In the case of mobile phones, for example Android, BlackBerry or iPhone, I do believe most people do not even come close to using the functions the phone features. I question if the producers split it right down to demographics, as in, so many people use the digital camera, such and such a percentage use the internet, or they simply toss as much at it as they can.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
