You probably have an iPad. But some Chinese could not afford it. So what they do? Get an iPad knockoff. The Aocos N19 is the latest iPad clone to hit the scene. Unlike Apple’s original iPad, the Aocos is all about Android. It’s powered by a single core 1.2GHz ARM Cortex A8 processor, packs 512MB of RAM, and a 4GB flash storage. It may not have the internal muscle to compete, but it has a high-resolution (1024 x 768) 9.7-inch IPS capacitive display, HDMI output, a microSD card slot and a 2 megapixel front-facing camera.
