The Matrix One is a new 7-inch paper with big selling amount of low price bushel. There is $99 type of the paper, but the edition we saw will retail for $149 when it comes to stores in recent July. Either way, the Matrix One is one of the smallest expensive Android tablets on the market that actually looks somewhat interesting.

For the $149, users get an 800×480 7-inch demo with an Endocrine A8 1.5 GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of hardware, and 2MP webcam.
