Meet iPed, The Android-Based Chinese iPad Clone [VIDEO]

It’s a tablet. It comes in a box nearly identical to the iPad. Yet, one letter makes a big difference: it’s called the iPed, and it costs only $105 – approximately five times less than Apple’s original, the iPad. And of course, you can only buy it in China.

Although cheap and visually quite similar to the original, the iPed sports far weaker hardware. It’s based on an Intel chip, and has 128 MB of RAM and 16 GB of storage space. It runs on AndroidAndroidAndroid, but from what we can see in the video below, it’s quite slow, probably hampered by the low amount of RAM it possesses.

However, given the fact that Apple’s iPad is not yet available in China (it took iPhone years to reach China) and the attaractive price, the iPed will probably find its audience – unless Apple manages to sue it out of production.
