Like it or not (the device that is), the Apple iPad will hundreds of thousands of units, in fact it already has and it isn’t even released yet! There is clearly a strong draw to the product, not only because of the Apple brand, but because of the tablet form factor that seems to have an emerging demand.
What if the iPad ran Android? Then you would have the following imitation device manufactured in the depths of China:
A bunch of specs were provided, although I couldn’t find a specific manufacturer, so getting amped about the 10-inch and 7-inch options with an April announcement is a bit… optimistic. Supposedly they’re in “early development” stages and to me that means a year off. Even if it does launch, you’re not likely to find one in the Americas or Europe unless you do some digging. I could be wrong, and we’ll be looking for a followup post from the source (which they promise), but my interest is in the concept.
Just FYI, here is part of what the iPaDroid supposedly comes with: 7-inch touch screen 800X480 resolution, 3500mAH 7.2V Lithium and a range should be strong, WIFI, 2 USB ports, 3.5mm headset jack, and Android.
Would you buy an Android version of the iPad with the above specs?
