iPad From China - iRobot (APad)

With the name similar as iPad, iRobot also known as Moo3 APad is best among all of the duplicates. I would like to mention that there are plenty of duplicates of Apple's iPad and they all want to be better than the original which is almost impossible but APad comes to nearest resemblance.

This device uses Android 1.5 Operating System while Apple's iPad uses iPhone OS. It's resolution is 800x480 pixels with aspect ratio of 16:9. It has 7 inch display which is touchscreen with auto rotation and drag feature. To make the access to the internet easier it is integrated with WiFi 802.11 a/b/g and it supports word, excel, ppt and pdf files and has Google Chrome internet browser. It has applications like Skypeout, QQ, Gmail, Google Maps, MSN, etc.

It contains such a feature that helps to enjoy multimedia and supports HD video with integrated webcam. Well, the cool part is web cam is integrated with it. It has integrated stereo speaker and microphone. Talking about hardware it has Ram of 128 MB with built in storage of 2 GB and for extra storage it has micro SD slot which can be expanded upto 32 GB.Wallpaper auto change, audio input and output, USB ports, different desktop gadgets and games are other features.

To sum up, I want to say that even though it is a clone nothing is bad with it. It is lot cheaper than Apple's iPad with lots of features similar. And it is best for those who can not afford to buy iPad.
