7 inch iPad look Android tablet

Just to prove that VIA Wondermedia tablets are making their way into Australia I thought I'd point out this Aped Iped which has found itself for sale on eBay Australia. The seller is in Western Australia. I hope it's not due to lack of satisfaction that this "hardly used" tablet being sold. It features the VIA WM8505 chip, 1GB flash storage, 1.3 megapixel camera and supports microSD for more memory.

Look what's in the Gumtree

For two hundred smackers you can pick up a 7 inch Android tablet on Gumtree that is based on the VIA Wondermedia WM8505 ARM 9 chip. It is running an older version of Android, v1.6 and it only has 2GB of onboard flash storage, but what would you expect for $200? The size would make it nice and comfy for surfing the web, social networking and light email when you're on the couch, or ... since it has 2 USB ports you could easily plug in a USB wireless modem and use it for access to the web on the train or whilst studying in a library. It says it has 4 hours battery life which is not bad. Check it out here.
