aPad, the alternative to the iPad...

The aPad is the latest competition to the MID (Mobile Internet Device) market and is without doubt the smoothest and most stable tablet MID available. It contains an elegantly designed 7" touch screen which operates at 800x480 pixels to display clean, crisp video and still picture images creating a wonderful experience whether surfing the net or watching a movie. It is available with a polished black finish on the back of the unit or a polished white finish.

How do you play movies on it?

Hmm, so it's just like the iPad in the sense it runs an OS designed exclusively for mobile devices (not a bad thing...) and it's only a USB device...not a host. Shame really as I know of a few photographers who would kill for a lightweight, simple tablet which can act as a USB host to transfer photos from a camera.

Awesome price, only £119 is amazing for what you get, actually pretty surprised at that. It's only got a resistive touchscreen though, which requires pressure to register a touch. IMO, one of the draws of the iPad is the excellent capacitive touchscreen which suits fingers and tablet computers rather well. I'd imagine the keyboard isn't great to use.
