You'll want to check the sticky post in /r/telescopes

Their basic recommendation is that with any limited budget you stick to Dobsonian telescopes until you understand how to operate a telescope, and have a better idea of exactly what you're interested in doing (what you want to do will drastically alter the choice of telescope).

At the price of that Galileo telescope you may be better off looking at a pair of good binoculars and a tripod or monopod or even a deck chair/lawn chair (something that can fold back to recline on) and a good astronomy beginner's book.

For choosing binoculars, check out this Sky and Telescope article on choosing binoculars for astronomy.

I've not read it myself but I've seen a few recommendations for "Stargazing with Binoculars" from Firefly Pocket Books.

Hope this helps. Just keep in mind that a pair of 7x35 binoculars, a lawn chair and a good astronomy book would be a better package than a tiny telescope on a wobbly tripod, even if they don't seem as special up front. Besides, binoculars are portable and can be used for daytime activities such as birdwatching should interests drift.
