Update: Full specification of the ‘Commemorative Steve Jobs’ Android Tablet.
Living in China and reporting on gadgets, we get to see our fair share of unofficial merchandise from Chinese manufacturers. These ‘knock-offs’ can range from fake iPad 2 smart covers, to complete replicas of iPhones of even Macbooks!
Sometimes though a Chinese made gadget crops up which combines the ancient Chinese art of the knock off with a complete lack of consideration for the law and copyright infringements, and this ‘Commemorative’ Steve Jobs Android tablet is a perfect example!
Not only have Shenzhen Lingyun, the company behind this 7-inch Android tablet, made a tablet which resembles the look of the iPhone 4 and 4S, but they have gone the whole hog and place the image of the late Steve Jobs on the screen and are marketing it as a ‘Commemorative Steve Jobs Android Tablet’!
Not only is the idea of a ‘Commemorative Steve Jobs Android Tablet’ an oxymoron, but it is also pretty disrespectful to the memory of the Apple founder!
The tablet itself is a fairy normal 7-inch Android tablet, which can be found branded as the LY-F-4S, features a PV210 processor, 512M memory, 4G storage, built-in Bluetooth, WiFi, front facing camera.
In the past we have also come across an unofficial ‘Angry Birds’ version of the Wopad V7 Android tablet, and we have heard rumors of a ‘Plants Vs. Zombies’ model heading for stores soon too!

This is just a thinner version of the Haipad M7 or Herotab C8, all the original specs and looks are the same, but with Bluetooth included. The factory has called this an “S” model just like the iPhone 4S, because that is what is selling right now. Only one picture of their press kit out of many had a picture of Steve Jobs on it. Perhaps that can be considered disrespectful, but I don’t agree. Even the new Flytouch 4S has used the “S” extension to try to help increase sales. These factories are just trying to position themselves in a very competitive industry and gain a slight marketing advantage. And if you are curious, I recommend this tablet over the older one, as it increases memory, processor frequency, multitouch, and physical size over the previous one.

What a load of crap! I hope ple sees this and shut these bastards down.
I totally agree with you! Let’s hope Apple’s legal team deals with this swiftly!

Not that I’d buy anything with Steve Jobs’ face on it, but after what he threatened to do to Android this is funny.
These people should be flogged for showing such disrespect. Then again, maybe it’s just a cultural thing they do and is something that shows respect in China. Whatever. I’m not buying Android crap so that’s that.
You guys do understand that there is NO Apple or Steve Jobs branding on this tablet right? No wording, no logos, no pictures of Steve Jobs or anyone else on the tablet. The only thing that links any of this to Steve Jobs is that one of the press photos has the video screen showing a JPG paying respect to Steve Jobs, and that there is an “S” in the name. All of us in the tablet business, including this factory, know that there would be no tablet market without the genius that was Steve Jobs. This tablet is identical looking to a slightly thicker tablet that has been on the market for nearly a year now. It isn’t a new design, just an upgrade to a previously successful one. Perhaps the factory should have avoided any potential controversy, but I really don’t think there was any disrespect intended.
They have copied the design of the iPhone 4 (4S) and given it the same 4S name though. Using a jpg to ‘pay respect’ is just a cheap marketing ploy. They are using Steve Jobs’ image to sell their giant iPhone 4 knock off.
Hehe, I am trying to give them the benefit of the doubt, but I thoroughly understand and respect your thoughts on it.
AHAHAHAHA THIS SHIT IS FUNNY
Steve Jobs was a greedy cunt. Good god are you people blind.
