That's like an iPad, in the same way a Ford Focus is like a Bugatti Veyron.
That's not saying it hasn't got it's uses; I can actually see more obvious uses for that than I can see for my £700 iPad, but a killer? *smirk* no.
Price point is too low. They charge $500 for a 1 3/4 inch screen phone without a data plan. These folks are too greedy - where's the hook?
Most probably tapped on my iPad!
NOT in any way and ipad killer this looks like tinker toy
K-mart, where I go for all my technology needs........

This is certainly an interesting development, but it screams being an inferior product. The price point is too dramatically low and there's no other information available on the internet about this device. And then there's the K-mart thing. I can see 2.5-3 stars in the future of this device.
Having said that, I'm rooting for this thing. Don't get me wrong, I love my iPad and I want the iPad to dominate. But a little market pressure over pricing is a good thing for everyone.

The whole notion of an iPad "killer", or an iPhone "killer" is nebulous. Does it just have to sell more? Does it have to actually take away sales from the iPad? Who cares about the sales of any device?
Like I've said many times, in the next few years we will be seeing many, many slate tablets, tablets with keyboards, android tablets, windows tablets, apple tablets, linux tablets, and who knows what else. Why does every similarly shaped device get judged by it being an "iPad killer" or not. The iPad may continue to have mass appeal, but many of these devices will be targeted at areas the iPad does not have appeal. Budget tablets like this are certainly not expecting to replace the iPad as the most popular tablet for sale. They are making something that people who would never buy an iPad would want. Good for them, I hope its a great success. There's lots of room for all kinds of products out there.
I much prefer the iPad I don't like the android at all, to me it looks cheap.
