Looks a lot like an iPad, except less battery life, much less storage and heavier.

It does have a bigger, higher resolution screen and a camera though.

I think they got the balance on this product wrong and Apple got it right.

The built-in camera on this thing is a great feature, and could be a phenomenal marketing tool for them to differentiate this from the iPad for the next year or so. Surely, the second-gen iPad will have a camera.

That, or the fact that it only runs a web browser.

This is vaporware. They've been accepting pre-orders for months. They've missed their release date multiple times. I wouldn't be surprised if they never release their product or refund anyone's money.

(especially with the lawsuit from TechCrunch against them)

Curiously, Apple's is the product with lots of features.

Yeah, the people voting this article up sure are sticking it to Apple and their dumb tablet! Show those Apple fanboys!

This company is scummy and taking people's money with the full knowledge they probably won't be getting a product. Flag and move on.

So for the same price as an iPad I can get a tablet with no apps and less battery life. Well, at least it has a USB port.
