IPad Clones rival the Apple Hard to get & Expensive Unit.

While exploring the market of touch tablet PC's on the Internet I have found that there are many really good alternatives reasonably priced and with better features then the infamous Apple IPad which is impossible to get at the moment. So what does a consumer do with

money to burn and desire to buy Apple's Ipad but non available, they look overseas primarily to the chinese market. There are several suppliers andmodels NOW available at the fraction

of the cost of IPad like the so called EPad's, APads and others. Commonly referred to as MID

's they vary in style and size from 7 inch to bigger but I found that the 7 inch to be more hand

friendly & weigh less. Granted these clones do not have Apple's OS, support or maybe even battery life but they don't cost $500 starting and limited to AT&T's death grip of service nor its unchangeable memory storage size once a model is picked and yes you can have one TODAY if you want with Android (a fast growing mobile OS). Be warned there are some touch tablet MID's out there like the SMartQ that has installed a very difficult customized and cloned Android system and not the general Android OS without ability to add or customize properly its use despite its hardware perks and price. Main street tech media doesn't really want to cover these overseas items for reasons only one can imagine but you as a consumer can research them online through Youtube videos and others then buy online (I recommend Ebay for its buyer protection policies) so go out and explore Apple is not your only choose ot the best one.
