Ezy Tablet a 10.2-inch iPad clone, costs $679
Apple is facing indirect competition in the form of the newly spotted Ezy Tablet PC. The device takes at least some design cues from the iPad and, like some recent clones, uses netbook foundations to make its attempt. The handheld device has a larger, 10.2-inch screen and runs on Windows 7 with multi-touch, but in a much heavier (2.2 pounds) casing and with a 1.6GHz Atom.
Aside from these, it runs on 2GB of RAM, a 2.5-inch, 250GB hard drive and a 1.3-megapixel camera. Wi-Fi and 3G supply the networking, and expansion comes from three USB ports, a VGA output and a multi-format memory card reader. Battery life in the attempted tablet form factor comes in at about 3.5 hours versus 10 for its Apple counterpart.
A single Ezy Tablet is now available and priced at $679, but ordering the device in larger quantities drops the unit price slightly. [via ChipChick]

How?
How is this in any way a "clone" of the iPad? The only similarity it shares is the touchscreen, which makes it another tablet PC, not a clone of the iPad. It runs Windows 7, it has all the standard connectors, which means it's a doomed-to-fail computer shoehorned into a tablet form factor instead of a dedicated mobile device. Sorry, not seeing the connection.
