Alright...Black Friday....a week from yesterday....here is the breakdown.
If we do end up going to Mitchell for shopping (like we did last year), here is the tablet plan works...
First choice: Polaroid 7'' Android Tablet from Menards.
Second Choice: Leader i7 or Sylvania Tablet from Kmart.
If we can't get to Mitchell, I will have to settle for a tablet locally. RadioShack has a Velocity Micro "Cruz" tablet that appears to be a model T301. It only has Android 2.2 though. Luckily, a video review is available online!

EDIT THE FIRST: I watched this review, and I'm saying no to the Cruz for reasons described in the video.
Pamida still has to release their Black Friday ad, and it hasn't leaked to my knowledge. I'm in the dark on what tablet they are offering, but I'm hoping they have the Pandigital "Nova" (the successor to Lexi, who is a "Novel") or a Coby Kyros. I can confirm the Pandigital Nova runs Angry Birds without problems thanks to another review I saw on YouTube.
As for Lexi, she will not be completely replaced. Granted, Fluttershy will get more attention since she will be the more powerful tablet, but Lexi shall remain a secondary unit. I will find a use for her.
Lexi just got another firmware update, and I also decided to remake her custom desktop background.
EDIT THE SECOND: I missed out on ThisTV's showing of "The Poky Little Puppy's First Christmas!". But, it reruns on Monday November 28th at 9:00am. I hope I remember to wake up early enough to record it.

I love foxes, especially the one in my avatar.
