Pandigital’s Multimedia Novel gets AT&T 3G, still cheap

Here are some facts we know about this subject:

This is a tablet called the Multimedia Novel, built by Pandigital.
It’s very much like another Multimedia Novel tablet Pandigital sells at CVS for $214, except now it’s $280 because there’s a 3G radio inside.
We really disliked the 7-inch version.
It’s on AT&T but it’s contract free — you pay as you go.
The 9-inch screen is resistive, which sucks even if there’s contract free AT&T on it. That’s just our opinion, though.
Android 2.0 is the OS.
Barnes & Noble’s Nookbook Store is pre-loaded.
You can’t access the Android Market by default.
There’s an unspecified 800MHz ARM11 processor running everything. It’s probably slow.
The 800 x 480 resolution will probably make your eyes bleed at this size.
But hey, it’s cheap.
