No, I wouldn't. People need to learn to not steal other people's ideas for their products. Just like Google stole Apple's multitouch. Theres a Chinese company out there that made an exact iPad clone, and called it the iTablet but it ran different software. And most companies will steal Apple's "i" in front of most of Apple's products. Come up with your own ideas, don't take someone else's and try to make it better, when you actually just fail miserably. Not to mention the people who wont buy it because they can't come up with their own ideas.

apple defiantly did not invent multi touch or touch screens, Google also didn't steel the technology because they run an open source platform, a ipad clone, would be that a clone, but a second offering of a multimedia consuming tablet would not be stealing, it would be competition. Can you accuse any other motorcar corporation but ford off stealing there ideas?

1	I wouldn't buy either, I don't think it's worth it, but that's my opinion. The clone does sound better than the iPad, though. answered Jun 06 '10 at 00:14 ZebaSz 703●2●7●16

0	It would be interesting, but it's hard to comment on something that (to my knowledge) doesn't exist. answered Jun 06 '10 at 00:20 JDHHDJ 2.4k●17●34●58

0	No, because I do not care about Flash. I never think about Flash when I am using my iPod Touch. I am not sure what the advantage is of running Linux. answered Jun 06 '10 at 00:22 rrm74001 2.8k●38●56●81

-1	no because most of the time they are poorly implemented nock offs answered Jun 06 '10 at 00:14 FilipinoPower 13.0k●135●219●313 Say someone like Ailenware or one of the other GOOD companies made it. Not shoddy. Hence competitively specced. (Jun 06 '10 at 00:16) GFroh
