In a perplexing announcement today, high-end audio cable and headphone manufacturer Monster announced that it’s making … a really cheap tablet. The Monster M7, a $149 Walmart exclusive, was announced today and is already available for order on the retailer’s online site. It will be available in Walmarts everywhere on Sept. 25. 
 The big selling point of the 7-inch M7 appears to be its color palette, which is bright enough to adorn a pack of Skittles. It will come in black, white, purple, blue, green, pink, orange, and red. Under the hood, we don’t see any huge red flags, but we have some big questions as well.

In most products like this it seems as though you pay for the name brand, but with this particular tablet I believe you are getting your "bang for your buck". It appears to do everything a normal tablet would do, and even has a few special features. I would most certainly be interested in buying a product like this.
