[![Arnova launches 8b G2 slate, hopes to keep it cheap][1] ][2]

[Arnova][3] isn't exactly a newcomer when it comes to dealing with budget-friendly tabs, already having produced the [9][4] and [10 G2s][5]. The outfit's newest addition to its tablet lineup is simply dubbed 8b G2, honoring its 8-inch, 800 x 600, TFT display. Coming in what some could consider "last year's specs," the slate's packing a 1GHz CPU, 512MB of RAM, a front-facing shooter, microSD slot for extra storage (4 or 8GB built-in) and a predictably outdated piece of Gingerbread. Presumably price will be its best asset -- Arnova hasn't given us a figure but, if it's [predecessor][6] is a telling sign, we can't imagine you'd part ways with more than 200 bucks.
