Has anyone seen this in stores yet? For $100 it'd be fun just to hack with (both the software and the hardware, since I doubt that you could get all of those components for cheaper).

Also, I love that the screenshot shows the browser with a IE-esque icon. Really shows the target market.

Looks like the guys over at droidforums.net got one: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/off-topic-forum/89150-maylo...

Yes. I played around with one of these in the Pearl Market in Beijing last week. All in all, I guess it's good for the price.

I like the size, it's okay for video and access to the Android store is great. The touch screen takes a very heavy touch, though. It was annoying after just 10 minutes.

Walgreens website says they are not sold in stores.

Does anyone know if that picture is just an iPad with the screen photoshopped to Android or is that what it actually looks like?

All of these cheap Android tablets look like the iPad.

Probably not if you put them side-by-side though...

It is absolutely a picture of an iPad, since you can see that it (the iPad) has been stretched out to accommodate the screenshot. The square on the home button isn't a square anymore.

its not. They just copied the look. (Check out the epad, and the apad and other versions of this pad)

Then why do all the hardware buttons (sleep, mute, volume, home) exactly match the layout of the buttons on the iPad? It looks exactly like a stretched out iPad with a mocked up screen shot.

I wouldn't be surprised if the product design spec was a stretched-out image of an iPad :-)
