The Chinese i/aPad

Historical text from HellasProject (2009–2014). It is not current advice or a present-day service.

The famously ingenious Chinese pulled off their miracle, and it looks like they did it very fast!

I present the aPad.

A device that, according to the page selling it, has:

• 7-inch screen
• touch screen
• G-sensor, so it knows which way you hold it
• photos
• music
• YouTube support
• and much more (thanks to Android OS)
• but…

It does NOT support iTunes.. (SHUSH!!

For the 4GB ROM model the price is about $200 (not bad!) and there will be other models by capacity.

The seller page (link) lists even more:

• Google Android 1.5 OS
• CPU: Rockchip 2808A 600MHz / 500MHz DSP (Dual-Core)
• RAM: 128mb ROM: 4GB (2GB-32GB optional)
• TF card extension maximal 16GB
• 7.0 inch WVGA 800*400 pixels touch screen

Honestly, it will be a nice simple netbook with a touch screen running Android. For the money it is cheap and fairly expandable. Of course… **it is NOT an iPad!
