7-inch iPad Knockoff Runs Android and Cost Very Cheap

7-inch iPad Knockoff

If you are willing to wait for an iPad, you have to take a look at this iPad wannabe. It looks and feels like the real thing, and it doesn’t disappoint you in terms of features. This slick-looking iPad knockoff gives you everything you ever wanted to see on the real one for just $900 RMB (about $130).

7-inch iPad Knockoff

Previously, we have introduced the best looking iPad knockoff ever, and this is the 7-inch version. It runs Android 1.5 and comes with SD card storage which can be between 2GB to 32GB depending on the card you’re using.

The device runs off a Rockchip RK2808 600Mhz processor, and maybe it will be changed to a 1Ghz Cortex-A8 processor sooner or later.

With its 7-inch Multi-Touch display (800×480), you can watch any formats (H.264/RMVB/MPEG-4/AVS/WMV9) of videos on it. However, it only supports up to 720p definition. Also, with its built-in accelerometer, you can turn it 90 degrees to enjoy a vertical or horizontal view on the display.

It’s only slightly thicker than Apple’s iPad, measuring 0.55 inch (14mm). Surprisingly, weighing in at 0.7 pounds (0.33 kg), it’s half the weight of the iPad.

The knockoff makers kept everything simple enough. The speaker is located on the back and you see nothing else.

So are there any apps in this iPad wannabe ? Yes. USB ports? Yes. Just like a real Android device, you can install any Android apps you want. Built-in with Wi-Fi, you can surf the web flawlessly on it. Also, you get on-screen keyboard just like the real iPad. All it lacks is a HDMI-port.

How about the battery life? You can manage to get up to 5 hours of life out of this iPad knockoff before recharging it.

Just in case you missed the price, it cost only $900 RMB (about $130). That is soooooo cheap and you can get one starting from May. It does supports 3G but not for this model. Maybe we will see it on the 10-inch version.

One more thing, there’s a front-facing camera on the device. [Red Ferret and ShanZhaiBen]

UPDATE: You can buy one at Taobao.com (China’s ebay) but it cost you $1350 RMB (about $198)

UPDATE 2: Available on eBay too!

    Does anyone know if you can multi-task on it? I know with the Apple ipad you can not listen to music while surfing the web which is what made me turn my back on it. So if you CAN listen to music while surfing the net & be able to run more than one app at a time, I'm definitely sold on this!

  • villecruz

    stop comparing it to an Ipad!! …..apple did not create the first tablet handheld!…….other than that get a fucking pc…….

  • evo

    *sigh* no apple did not invent the tablet but, if you, you know, looked at the pictures you can clearly see this tablet HAS been modelled/copied on the iPad, so comparing it to the iPad is perfectly acceptable.

    wat im saying is they called it an ipad wannabee….. its a fucking handheld tablet not a ipad wannabee…..

  • Willscr

    does this thing do multi-touch?

  • Pawn

    Can you read?

  • Gliian

    this proves that apple sucks ass…

  • Willscr

    Where in the article does it say its multi-touch? i know it has a touch screen i am asking if i can touch it in two different places at once. such as for zooming in on a map or picture. perhaps you should learn to read since you missed the point of my question.

    *dumbass

  • giggity

    “that’s what she said.”

  • Tomtard

    He didn’t miss the point of the question, you’re question is answered in the article. So, can you read?

  • negi

    Yeap, multitasking is there I believe as it is running on the Android OS

  • Willscr

    i have read the article 3 times, i don’t see anywhere that is says it supports multi-touch.

    please quote this line you guys are seeing and I’m missing. I cant believe i have read it a 4th time and i still don’t see this point addressed.

      You’re welcome, dumbass.

    I had one of these, and it was terrible. The touch screen was un-responsive, and it was very slow. The battery life lasted around an hour. I’ve gone to a Acer Aspire One running OpenSuse, and it is fantastic.

    What on earth does this have to do with ‘ipad”? It’s an android tablet.

    • nopoli

      It merely leaves ipads to eat dust.
