I usually do not buy things when they first come out and are super expensive. I am rather thrifty or cheap and prefer to wait until the price comes down or as you mentioned a cheaper version comes out. I would absolutely buy an iPad clone if it was cheaper.
Brand names do not impress me, so even if the iPad clone was not Apple or another name brand, I would be fine. I have a very hard time paying full price on things. I recently found out that the Dean's sour cream and the generic sour cream at my grocery store are both made at the same company.
I was also informed that they both have the exact same ingredients. Same product, same ingredients, made at the same company and yet different prices. The Deans was more expensive.It put more of a perspective on things for me.
Why pay for a name?
.I might buy a clone of the iPad, but there are several factors involved before I make that decision. I would have to see someone else use one and get some reviews and try it out myself to see if I would like it. I don't have an iPad because of the cost and not being sure how useful it would be for me to have one.
If I could get the apps that I would like for free (such as educational ones for my work, games for my entertainment, etc) and the clone would be cheap and prove to work well and useful, then I would get one. The cost would have to be under $100 for me to consider it though. Anything more than that isn't worth my hard earned money.
.I'm not going to buy this cloned iPad, in the sense that I would rather prefer the real Apple's iPad because the multi-touch device has already covered a lot of ground. Even if this iPad clone has much powerful processor and at a cheaper price, the fact of the matter is that there have been no existing customer reviews on this product compared to iPad. What I am looking forward to having is the iPad 2.0, if rumors is true, come January 2011, a new iPad will be introduced and surely it will have the same features of the new iPod Touch, introduced in the recently concluded Apple event last September 1, 2010.
Among these features that will be present in the new iPad would probably be the retina display, face time, new operating system and new design & dimension.
I would definitely not buy a cloned iPad. To me, it seems highly unlikely that any worthwhile device will sell for less than $300 in the next couple of years. While the tight controls that Apple holds around the iPad can be a bit of a nuisance, there fanaticism about tight integration between hardware and software are exactly what makes their devices so spectacular.
Apple focuses tons of research and development time on making the user experience perfect and I suspect that in developing a clone, something will have to be sacrificed and wouldn’t be worth just a little savings. I think you would be better off buying a completely different tablet, slate or laptop, but I just don’t think the clones are going to be worth much.
The iPed is the latest iPad clone to hit the scene. It packs the usual Android build into a casing that looks a lot like the real thing. It even ships in a box that’s nearly a photocopy of the iPad’s retail box besides the iPod label is replaced with iPed.
The Inkia inPad is clearly an iPad clone. But while it might look the part, it probably won’t be the same with only a 600Mhz CPU and either 128MB and 256MB of RAM powering the Android 2.1 build. At least it has 2 USB ports, though.
Make no mistake, while the LifesPad might not have the sterotypical iPad casing, it’s still an iPad clone. But at least there’s some higher-end hardware powering the device: 1Ghz Freescale CPU, 512MB of DDR2 RAM, 3G modem, and Android 2.1. Not bad, eh? Meizu is the original iDevice cloner.
Their tricks first started way back when the original iPhone launched and they fired up the photocopiers again for the iPad. The Mbook packs an unknown 1.5GHz CPU, WiFi, 3G, GPS, and an 8.4-inch screen all in a casing clearly inspired by the iPad. Android 2.1, 1Ghz ARM Cortex-A8 CPU, 512MB of RAM, and a 10-inch display.
You would think all that tech would be enough to grant the clone a proper name right? Take the iPad, replace the silver styling with white and add a slide-out keyboard that can double as a stand. It looks like it runs Windows 7, too.
Not too shabby.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
