Tired of waiting for a real Chinese iPad? Meet the iPed

Follow my_iria on Twitter

It has always been strange to some, how easily America chose to outsource its manufacturing, including much intellectual property (IP) to China, where illegal cloning of software and devices is common. Thus, we now have the iPed, selling in China.

What's funny is that the device is on sale in Shenzhen, China. Shenzhen is the location of the largest Foxconn plant, where the iPad (and iPhone) is manufactured (and where a number of suicides have happened lately). The iPed comes packaged in a box that looks a lot like the iPad.

Does that imply some sort of leak from the Shenzhen plant? Not necessarily, but common sense would say, "Of course. It's China, where IP is not sacred."

As for the iPed itself, it comes with an Intel CPU and runs Google’s Android OS, rather than the iPhone OS. It could, in fact, be a preview of legit Android tablets to come, which are expected.

How much does the iPed set back a Chinese buyer? Typical of cloned and ripped-off DVDs and products, it's cheap. The iPed runs just 9,600 Yen, or $105.
