Android-based iPad clone for sale for $210
A Chinese company has copied the iPad in its basic design. Called the APad, the device uses Android for its operating system and is powered by a dual-core Rockchip processor. It has between 2GB or 32GB of built-in flash memory, depending on model, and only 128MB of RAM. A TF card slot can add 16GB of storage space.
The 7-inch touchscreen has a resolution of 800x400, and Wi-Fi is built-in. Google browser and Google Maps are preloaded. Most common video files, including MKV, are support, along with music and photos. An accelerometer is built-in as well. The APad costs $210.
Clones such as this are common in China but rarely make it to other markets, in part because of the likely legal consequences. [via TechDigest]
