The specs look very good for $145. 7″, 1.5 GHz dual-core, 16 GB internal storage, and like you say, running Android 4.0 (ICS) and a card slot. The only knock on it I can find is that the wifi is a bit weak, but some firmware revisions seem to do better than others.

It’s running ICS and is a fast dual-core with all the bells and whistles including microsd. I was going to wait and get a nexus tablet but google stripping the memory card reader from their final build just cost them a sale. Or two.
