Sooooo, it's basically a wi-fi phone look-alike knock-off of something thats supposedly looks like something to shatter sales records of Google, HTC, Apple, and the like?

No, "Tablet" has become a generic term for anything without calling. I guess my old HP iPaq is a tablet now...

Technically that's true it is; when I worked for Compaq when the first iPaq was made *just before the buyout that year*, they were telling us at the office it was a tablet PC. I surprised people still have those things.

This is just another $100 ish dollar android tab, ebay is full of them already from china.

Spec page for 7" version (assume the spec will appear around here)

I cant see how its going to be fight off the imports... !

When it looks likey they are just rebranding ..
