A serious contender to the Scroll? I'm watching this....

this really is one of those too good to be true things, and in all reality, they're saying that you can get a Galaxy Tab competitor for less than £100... as long as you wait for it to be produced by some random factory in China.

i might wait it out for a little while and see what happens, but this is a really tempting device.

I got a Galaxy Tab after being disappointed by three cheap Tablets. Most of these cheaper devices are doing a severe dis-service to Android.

Wow, £97 including delivery with a capacitive touchscreen and the market. Sounds too good to be true, as you say.

This bit sounds somewhat dodgy:

cmon you lot its way to good to be true i mean im allready thinking they would have cut back on things like build quality and gl 3d open support, i mean they advertising that it has microphone and headphone output.....oooooooo special , in my opinion its like the touchpad 2 rubbish , better screen but lower processor and no 3d support.....so whats the point when all you can use it for is the simplest of apps n games?
