Living in China and reporting on gadgets, we get to see our fair share of unofficial merchandise from Chinese manufacturers. These knock-offs can range from fake iPad 2 smart covers, to complete replicas of iPhones of even MacBooks!
Sometimes though a Chinese made gadget crops up which combines the ancient Chinese art of the knock off with a complete lack of consideration for the law and copyright infringements, and this Commemorative Steve Jobs Android tablet is a perfect example!
Not only have Shenzhen Lingyun, the company behind this 7-inch Android tablet, made a tablet which resembles the look of the iPhone 4 and 4S, but they have gone the whole hog and place the image of the late Steve Jobs on the screen and are marketing it as a Commemorative Steve Jobs Android Tablet!
Not only is the idea of a Commemorative Steve Jobs Android Tablet an oxymoron, but it is also pretty disrespectful to the memory of the Apple founder!
The tablet itself is a fairy normal 7-inch Android tablet, which can be found branded as the LY-F-4S, features a PV210 processor, 512M memory, 4G storage, built-in Bluetooth, WiFi, front facing camera.
In the past we have also come across an unofficial Angry Birds version of the Wopad V7 Android tablet, and we have heard rumors of a Plants Vs. Zombies model heading for stores soon too!
You got a laptop with 300 bucks and a 64G SSD for 300 bucks? I really really doubt that? I’ve seen those cheap Asus’ ones for 300 with a 8G “Flash” drive, but not 64G SSD.
Send me the link to where you bought that, please. Also does the one you bought run full win 7 or XP? Is it 64-bit or 32?
If it doesn’t run win 7 and it isn’t 64 bit, again it fails to meet my needs.
The reason I keep hitting on the SSD is for a true mobility you don’t want to be risking using hard drives with their moving parts (they fail a lot- at least on me).
Runs win 7 just fine. It’s only 32 bit though. No SSD. I have about 120 gigs onboard and about double that in externals. Converted my old hds on my old machines.
I live just down from the dell plant, so you usually get good deals on equipment.
I hear you.
The SSD is the premium part that costs so much in PCs that gives the Macbook Air its value (that and the fact that OSX is 64-bit os, while the budget PC’s usually can’t run win-64)
Man, good location to live at for technophiles like me. =)
I think it is just perfect.
Yeah, SSDs are most of the expense. I remember paying about 450 for my first computer back in 2000. It was a 486! Then I upgrading to a Pentium, about the same cost.
I’m very impressed with my machine.
