Just checked out a Chinese imitation ipad – they call it the apad apparently. While it was priced cheaply (under US $200) and operate on the goggle android operating system, I was a bit annoyed at some features. My tablet only came with 2GB of memory - not much really. Nowhere did it state I needed to buy a TF or SD card to expand memory. Also, operating them can take getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, you begin to understand it’s logic For others who want to buy something of the sort – a cheap mobile internet device – I suggest you check if there is a camera. Some retailers sell ones with user facing cameras for only a couple of bucks more. And don’t worry - they do actually work!
