Like most knock-off clones, the general idea appears to be; make as many as you possibly can at the cheapest cost of manufacturing possible, sell for $70-80 above manufacturing cost, equaling huge profit. On top of its questionable build quality, the device&#8217;s outer black bezel appears to have grown an inch, meaning you&#8217;ve already lost an inch off your screen real estate before you even get going.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, according to @Mashable the device is based on an @Intel chip, has just 128 MB of RAM compared to iPad&#8217;s 256 MB and is only currently available with 16GB of storage space<\/p>\n<p><center><object width=\"540\" height=\"385\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/Q599sQ41_cI&#038;rel=0&#038;color1=0xb1b1b1&#038;color2=0xd0d0d0&#038;hl=en_US&#038;feature=player_embedded&#038;fs=1\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/Q599sQ41_cI&#038;rel=0&#038;color1=0xb1b1b1&#038;color2=0xd0d0d0&#038;hl=en_US&#038;feature=player_embedded&#038;fs=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allowScriptAccess=\"always\" width=\"540\" height=\"385\"><\/embed><\/object><\/center><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The main difference though?
