The appearnce of this little
clone is remarkably close to the real thing.
The as of unnamed Shenzhen manufactured
clone does away with the
plastic other copies such as the ePad are using in favour of an
alloy case, giving the shell a very sturdy feel.
The CPU is an ARM Cortex A8 clocked at 1Ghz, and the O.S is
Android 2.1 with an iOS skin to look like the real thing!
The only clues to give it away as a fake on first glance are the fact it has no
Apple logo on the back and the the
screen only measures 9.7 inches rather than 10.1 on the
iPad. Also due to the number of scratches and marks the
screen looks to be made of
plastic in these photos.
Prototypes are expected to leave the factory next month for field testing, with production
models planned by the end of the year.
More news as we get it!
