Hi,
After the discussion about cheap android tablet in the list, I got interested and ordered a M001 tablet from the internet link provided by one of you.
After a wait of about a month it arrived yesterday, the price was $109 and I had to pay a duty of Rs.766 to the postman.
I now can not configure internet proxy setting on the device. Though through google search I have been getting some instructions, but they do not match the menus on my device. It runs kernel 2.6.29-00236-g4f8dbbb-dirty, build number 1.9.1 and firmware version 1.6.
I would be grateful if some one can give pointers to solve my problem.
Thanks and regards.

if you have a terminal you can use bash environment variable using setenv to http_proxy=proxy:portnum

There's a bug filed on their issue tracker which has been open for a long time which says that android cannot be used through an authenticating proxy. Also, this method works only in Android 1.6 from what I read. For the newer version you need to store this value in a sqlite database file.

I have been trying to get a terminal on the tablet but could not. Can you suggest w to get a terminal?
Google search led me to some solution modifying sqlite databases, but that too used a terminal.
Thanks and regards.

There are terminal apps that you can get from android market. One such example http://open-tube.com/linux-terminal-on-android-phone-linux-like-command-line... But do remember, there's no bash in there. It uses busybox. :)
