  HONG KONG - APPLE may have sold two million of its new iPad tablet computers in less than two months, but it now has a Chinese challenger - the identical looking iPed.
  
  Apple's iPad is not, officially, even on sale yet in China but the iPed can be bought in Shenzhen, southern China, for almost a fifth of the price of the US price of Apple's gadget.
  
  The world's first iPad lookalike runs on Google's Android operating system, is apparently powered by an Intel chip and sells for US$105 (S$147). The basic model iPad sells in the US for US$499.
  
  Pictures of the iPed, filmed by Japanese TV news and posted on YouTube, show the gadget being sold in a Shenzhen computer mall in packaging that even looks like an iPad box.
  
  The change in vowel is seemingly the only major difference in appearance between the two gadgets.
  
  A review of the iPed on tech website TECHi says 'the iPed is exactly what you're thinking: a Chinese knock-off.' 'The iPed is an Intel-driven, Android-based copycat packaged like an Apple product and, to be honest - it doesn't look half bad.' -- AFP

  What do you all think about this?
  
  Wow, the Ipad hasn't even been launched in China yet and there's another imitation. Well China can produce another exact copy of the same product.
  
  What do you guys think? Do you think the iped is going to work as well as the new ipad?

  It runs on Google's Android OS. The display screen looks pretty bad though (see third pic below).
