If you hadn’t already heard, the Goopad Mini is the $99 Android alternative to Apple’s iPad Mini. If offers the same styling with the only external difference being the use of a mini USB in place of Apple’s Lightning connector.
Oringinaly the Goopad Mini was set for a November release date, however word of the iPad Mini clone has been very quiet up until now. While we still have no idea of when the Goopad mini will release, we do now know the full specification for this awesome tablet!
The official Goopad Mini specs claim the tablet will have an 8-inch 1024 x 768 display just like Apple’s tablet. The CPU will be a 1.4GHz dual-core Rockchip RK3066 processor with 1GB of DDR2 ram plus there will be 8gb of built in memory. Of course as this is an Android tablet the Goopad mini iPad mini clone runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean rather than iOS.
The front camera is .3 mp while the rear camera is 2 mp, which is pretty low compared to similar tablets at the same price, but we guess this is the price you pay for the iPad Mini design.
Power comes from a built in 5000mAh lithium unit which GooPhone claim will give you between 4-5 hours of use, so you may need to carry a charger or back-up power supply with you if you are planning on going for a long journey.
Although the GooPad Mini still hasn’t appeared and the makers of the device have yet to set a firm release date, they have gone about selecting official distrubutors, which we will post if and when the GooPad turns in to being something other than vapourware.

Wow so this doesn’t come with IOS theme? If it doesn’t, it’s a deal breaker for me. There’s a legit website selling ipad mini clones now, and his is described as your description. If the goopad mini doesn’t come with ios theme, I might as well purchase his goopad mini clone instead of waiting on this.
Yes it is android with the iLaunche OS theme. The clone you see at orient deal is more a fake or a normal 8″ tablet than a replica like the Goopad Mini was to be.
gotcha
do you know the website that sales ipad mini?
If the GooPad mini is ~ 445g as it says on orientdeal, I will not buy one. The Ipad Mini is ~ 310g. And the broader bezel is a minus as well.
When it becomes available will you be selling it on your website?? Thanks!
nope
where can i actually purchase one of these safely?
