Kmart may have started the flood of cheap netbooks and tablets into the market. We've already heard of BestBuy's plans for a cheap tablet, but it seems there's another one jumping into the pool. CVS, the drug store giant, wants to have a piece of the tablet/netbook pie and they're planning to sell $100 netbooks and a $180 e-reader from their branches soon.
They'll be selling a Sylvania netbook that runs on Windows CE and a 7-inch LookBook e-reader. Both of them don't look much – but the Sylvania netbook is a great starter netbook, while the e-reader may not be the best buy. The Kindle's price is dropping like a stone and you can probably get one for less that $180. Still, market exposure may mean the difference, so people may decide to throw this in their shopping cart with their usual drug store purchases.
