It looks like Apple’s will have more than just the upcoming Wi-Fi only Xoom and Blackberry Playbook to worry about if reports coming from

Android Tablet. From the outside the Qpad looks similar to Viewsonic’s ViewPad 10S. There’s a nice 10 inch multi-touch capacitive screen with a resolution of 1024 x600, a nice thick bezel to clamp your thumbs too plus a front facing camera for .
As we’ve already mentioned the Qpad gets that super dual-core

Although the
Tegra 2 Chip-set and

Check our the video below of the Qpad in action.
