Default An iPad clone running Android for $150.00...

Are you excited about tablet computers but are not so interested in the iPad's iPhone-like operating system? A shady company in China has just the solution you're looking for!

This iPad knockoff might look relatively legit, but it's actually running a hacked version of Google's Android phone OS modified to look like the iPad OS. On the inside you've got a 600MHz ARM CPU instead of Apple's 1GHz A4 processor. Otherwise, who knows what's inside? But hey, it's a mere $150, much less expensive than the real deal, so maybe it's a better option! Then again, maybe it isn't.

They should just change the design a little so it didn't look like an apple product and they might be on a winner.. that's cheap enough for me to have as nothing more as a toy, unlike the iPad which I'd actually need to justify to myself as a purchase. Plus I bet that has the flexibility, even with a 600mhz processor, to be far more useful than an iPad.
