hi guys,
anyone seen one of those? is it any good? i don't expect it to be as good as an ipad but for it's price it might be worth it. check fleebay.
this one uses Android OS and it seems that the apps are free.

Interestingly it has a camera and ipad does not. however, someone confused me saying that the camera is only for taking pictures and cannot be used as a 'webcam' for skype and msn which are available for Android platform.

Wonder if anyone has tried this yet.

My brother got one , its a great bit of kit , the best one to get is the rock chip version , it's small light and very powerful , the camera can be used for web chat etc.. , Its just like the ipad , even has a theme to look like the ipad , the big bonus is you can put what every size memory you want in it , Im well impressed and will be placing my order soon

they looked good for that sort of price. however, i have been advised by a UK ebay seller to wait for the 10.2 inch APAD to come out. it will run android 2.1 or something like that. apparently, the 7 inch version has got some flaws. ex: mic does not work. more due to software rather than hardware though.
10.2 inch will have faster of processor running at 1GHZ and more memory as well as disk space.
