    Just checked out a Chinese imitation ipad – they call it the apad apparently. While it was priced cheaply (under US $200) and operate on the goggle android operating system, I was a bit annoyed at some features. My tablet only came with 2GB of memory - not much really. Nowhere did it state I needed to buy a TF or SD card to expand memory. Also, operating them can take getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, you begin to understand it’s logic ;) For others who want to buy something of the sort – a cheap mobile internet device – I suggest you check if there is a camera. Some retailers sell ones with user facing cameras for only a couple of bucks more. And don’t worry - they do actually work!

    I'll be honest, you're not really selling it very well. I think where you went wrong was starting out with "Chinese imitation ipad".

    Just an FYI...the unit described here does sound like a cheap imitation of an iPad, but the iPad itself it just a cheap imitation of the original "thin tablets" that chinese companies have been making for years. There are VERY nice chinese tablet devices available...the only reason they don't come to the states very often is because it was generally agreed that no one would ever be stupid enough to pay $400 for a tablet PC...and even today, they know that they still can't sell them because people would never pay even $350 for the iPad if it were not for the apple logo on the back.
