BEIJING – A Chinese Apple knockoff company dubbed GooPad has announced plans to market a US$99 tablet – pictured – that bears an uncanny resemblance to Apple’s new iPad Mini.
Due to launch in November, the GooPad Mini sports an 8in. display at 1080 by 768 pixels, a 1.4GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage.
There’s also a 2MP rear-facing camera, a 0.3MP front-facing camera and Wi-Fi support.
It actually runs Google’s Android 4.1 “Jelly Bean” system – but GooPad will ship with iLaunch, an Android “skin” that mimics the iOS Apple system.
