Flytouch Vs. ePad

The was one of the first iPad clones on the market and continues to be one of the most popular knock offs available, but with every passing week devices enter the fray with better specifications and improved build . Here we have the Flytouch, a and feature packed and the sided by side. Does the stand up to the competition or is it time for the kids on the block to take over? Both the and have 7 inch and 1ghz CPU's. They both also run the Android operating system, but the newer manages to have a slightly smaller footprint and also manages to add some extra at the same time.

This first picture shows off one of the main consumers have been asking for on their devices, an Ethernet port! That's correct the one thing that would make your super portable lose all portability is a feature the majority of users have asked for here. The does have an aftermarket ethernet adapter which plugs into the 30 pin dock connector, but that means you can't sync your device while using the Ethernet .

The Flytouch has a total of 2 USB plugs, one more than the ePad and 2 x mini SD card slots, again one more than the ePad. The first SD card reader is meant to expand memory while the second is designed for adding maps for use with the GPS, another feature the ePad lacks.

The gets 2 built in speakers as does the ePad, but it also gains a HDMI out, stylus (something which is really needed on these lower touch screens) and a WIFI on/off toggle switch.

As for the interface the ePad's home screen looks positively ancient when compared to the 3D application navigation on the ( pictured above below)

With all the added the touts over the plus it's slightly smaller footprint you'd expect it to cost a lot more than the ePad, but in actual fact it's listed at around 2000 Yuan but can be found for as little as 1800 Yuan which is what you would expect to pay for the much older and less functional .

It's time to move over ePad your few months in the limelight are up!!
