android tablet - run specific app (web-app) strict

Question

i want to take tablet (some cheap chinese one) and run specific app on it (actually it is web page, so i need browser).
for example, i need the tablet to run the browser on "http://cnn.com" and thats it.
disable all buttons and disable all the other functions.. (power on the device to the specific page).

how can i perform this? i tried to read about building specific ROM but it looks like it will not be easy, especially with cheap unknown tablets..

any ideas?

Thanks

Thank you NigelK.
i find some tutorials for kiosk app.
the best solution is to run service in parallel that check the app is in the foreground.

please find the following tutorial: http://www.basic4ppc.com/android/forum/threads/android-kiosk-mode-tutorial.10839/
