Out Of Nowhere, The iPad Has A Real Competitor

I am not convinced, because I think people are buying iPad because it's another gadget from Apple, not because there's a need for a tablet. But then I said I did not need a book reader and now I can't live without it

It's not really a competitor for the sort of people who like the quality and ease of use of ipad. Will be fun for those who like to mess about with the software a bit. The dev community loves cheap hardware like this.

It's being pushed more as an ebook reader but is capable of more. Still it's a step in the right direction towards an affordable tablet. http://pandigital.net/pandigitalnovel

It is little different from the $99 Eken, apart from Android being 2.0 + an ebook skin rather than Android 1.6

Seems little point. They already have iPad Nanos aka iPod Touches.

ipad mini's for women and there smaller hands

I'm more or less the opposite. I think there is a need for a tablet, and Apple was the first to come up with a credible design. I'm hoping other people will be inspired to do even better.

I'm not sure this one qualifies, though.


I don't really get why people would want a device that could read ebooks and do virtually nothing else. I'd want it to browse the web and watch movies too.

Of course there is a need.

But there is far more a need for a netbook but that was crowded with better technology.
