New iPad Clones with Android 2.2 / Windows 7

[Dovecam.W]

Just released in SZ (China). New iPad clones run Android 2.2 / Windows 7 with "decent" hardware equal to iPad, supporting Flash 10.1 and multitasking.

8" Android 2.2 aPad - 1GHz Cortex A8 Processor - 512MB DDR2

10.1" Windows 7 ePad - 1.66GHz Atom N455 - 2GB DDR3 - 32GB SSD

Any reviews, discussion on those? I have laid my money down and waiting for the courier to show up. Been burnt before and not holding my breath, but as an ebook reader and wifi surfer?

The aPad's aren't THAT new, but hey.

I bought one of these a few weeks ago, for £75/$120 and I strongly recommend you don't buy one. I sent mine back for a refund yesterday.

- The internet connection is shocking. Hardly ever connects and when it does, it's super slow.
- The whole thing feels cheap and plasticy, especially the screen
- Screen came with a huge irremovable finger print - kind of like when you press down really hard on a screen with your thumb. That blurry look? Yeah, one of those right in the middle of the screen.
- Battery life is horrible
- The device gets really hot even when you aren't using it
- Seemingly no lock button, you have to wait for the screen to go off
- 256MB internal memory; you have to buy a separate SD card.
- Hardly any apps, comes with android app market but it's a dodgey one with a VERY limited selection, most of which are chinese
- Whole device laggs like crazy constantly
- Video payback (Even that saved on your device, not streaming) is in terrible quality with an even worse FPS.


I could go on all day.. Moral of the story, avoid these vile creations at all costs.
