Like a lot of people I was amused to read about the “iPed”, a Chinese copy of the Ipad. Of course, coming from China, the assumption was that it would be rubbish, but ask yourself this, where are apple products made? The fact is, many many high quality products are made in China for Western companies, and now, the Chinese are learning for themselves how to produce quality electronic products.

Now, I am not saying that the iPed is a “good quality product” as compared the the iPad it is quite limited, however, it is no joke either.

Furthermore, it is of course running Google Android, a very capable operating system, and one which is forcing Apple to re-think the way it locks down its apps. The open nature of Android is proving very popular with developers and customers alike, and so, ANY “pad” that can be offered cheaply running Google Android has potential.
