$300 Only, Bandit iPad May Swarm Into The Market in May

Apple iPad is definitely a big hit in the market. However, if you are aware of the culture of Shanzhaiji (Bandit Phone), you will not be surprised by the “efficiency” of Chinese manufacturers. To make a thing which at least looks like iPad is not a difficult job.

Some Chinese media expected that these iPad-clones from different manufacturers which are mainly based in Shenzhen might swarm into the market in May. The design may be not as nice as Apple iPad, but they obviously look similar. The most interesting points are they are much cheaper (expected only $300), coming with some cool features such as GPS and even micro-projector and powered by Windows Mobile or Android.
