There is a lot of conjecture that any Apple device coming out will be sporting the same 10.2” screen size as the P88. Apart from that, I can’t imagine a tablet device from Apple will look like this – too plain, too thick, too under-powered. With a battery life of only 1.5hrs (can that be right?) and a price tag of over USD 400, I can’t imagine people are going to be queuing outside stores to get their hands on this device in the West.
It’s by no means a terrible product, but at the end of the day I think most people would be shocked if it turned out this was an Apple tablet clone.

Tai Pan, Do all tablets have a sim card slot? If not, which ones do?
Yes, but does it have the retina display?!
The fact that this requires a 3g plan makes it a total non-starter. I was thinking I could put my Tmob N1 SIM into this, but no wa...
Finally!!! It is also my opinion that 8.9 is the sweet spot! Let's see if we are right :) Good work shanzai!
This was just what I was looking for. I'll come back to this blog for sure! I bookmarked this blog a while ago because of the usef...

So what do you think of the new Dell Streak then? Can you live with Android instead of Mac's iPhone OS?

Its shanzhai... so undoubtedly it IS running Windows (probably XP). :)
Ha ha ha.. in a way I guess you're right... :)
...except for of course our Asian analysis, Op-eds, Freaky Friday and China Buzz stuff.. yeah... and the fact we try to take an ever so "slightly" deeper look at the products and their potential for Western consumers instead of just show off a KIRF item.

Unbelievable.
Their employees and bosses are copying whatever their visits to enterprises/fairs/trade shows yield. Nearly every design, hardware, software and even the commercials of Apple are rip-offs.
When a Chinese company does it, it's called plagiarism. When Apple does it, they're "inspired", and the respective products is called a "tribute" to whoever they stole the ideas from.
Besides those models are only worth around 230-299$ but is sold at 499++
Sorry, but they are at best crappy like hell. The demo model of the P88 I had broke down and the sale guy got "pissed" at me, for "breaking" the touch pad - basically tried to open IE by double clicking on the icon, by lightly tapping on the screen.
IT is a DON'T BUY! besides there are no innovation in this here, all components are off the shelve components.
no camera,no usb, no mulittasking. for what the hell i should buy this cripple?
even this chines product looks like a copy out of design of a iphone. it has usb, i can exchange music, i can probably make a skype call and see all flash websites. all these the superb apple is notable to show.
this is the point guys. apple is counting on the brainwasched iphone users. they will try selling apple apps till it will be killed by flash applications running on every other device.
as a flash developer i can create with flash something which will run on every other pc doesnt matter from wich company. who needs apple if android is becoming with google maps the big player.
are you kidding. the ipad will be the first big flow since ages for apple. jobs seems becoming to ignorant and good critics are hard to find about the ipad even on apple friendly blogs
apple is a shame.
