The 10.1 looks like specs for a netbook. Looks too good to be true....I think it's a scam. I would suggest an Archos 101. It's very good.

There are a whole number of these out there, unfortunately they all seem to be cheap copies which puts me off. The only reputable ones I've seen are the Galaxy Tab and the Dell Streak which are both quite small so even more useless than the Ipad!

I honestly think Archos 101 is a very good competitor to iPad if you know how to use it....HDMI, full USB, excellent video formats playable, good screen, nice solid state 16gb etc etc.....

theres no way i would buy any chinese copy products, where is the nearet service centre ect!
my wife decided she wanted an ipad for xmas so we played with both ipad and galaxy tab in currys uk, just flipping the page of an e book backwards and forwards, the galaxy was stuttering on every page turn, the ipad never stuttered once, so im now down 599 pounds!

I would buy a cheap clone in a heartbeat. I have very little faith in customer service anyway, having done it for many years and realizing how common ignorance is.
So if I can't get a clone to work, I can throw it away.

I have seen reviews on youtube for the aPad and it looks okay. The clones in general are probably decent but not spectacular. Still - for basic use, it definitely beats plopping down $500 for an iPad.

I've heard it's the best tablet available after the tweeks, leaving the iPad in the dust.
But I truly know 3.0/Honeycomb is the tablet OS, and it will land about the time iPad2 hits shelves. Expect a colourful '11.

There's a big difference between the ARM11 Viewsonic ViewTab 7 and the dual-core Viewsonic G-Tablet. Don't confuse the two, that would be a mistake.

8" Android 2.2 aPad - 1GHz Cortex A8 Processor - 512MB DDR2
10.1" Windows 7 ePad - 1.66GHz Atom N455 - 2GB DDR3 - 32GB SSD
Any reviews, discussion on those? I have laid my money down and waiting for the courier to show up. Been burnt before and not holding my breath, but as an ebook reader and wifi surfer?
