go for the real thing? or go for the imitation? Spend for the real thing or spend lesser on the copy? sigh... i'm not much of a tablet guy, but I need one. And I don't need the "prestige" of being an iPad user in fact the Google Android OS is kinda appealing to me just like Linux sigh decisions, decisions help?

well it really depends on the usage. I am also planning to buy a china one because i need something with a wifi and a ebook reader. Well i am a little bit apple hater and i know that after 3-5 months they will release a new one with one slightly added feature and then after 3-5 months again add another small feature. Fun isnt it?

Does the Apad work like the Ipad? What OS is it using? I'm looking into this too because I'm planning on buying a tablet for work purposes. Hope anyone can shed some light on any advantages and disadvantages between the two.

go for the real thing. by this way you are helping our economy unlike those companies that are selling imitated products.today's economy is fluctuating so better to patronize those products that are original and authentic.best quality of the product may only achieve if that product is original because the performance promised will be yours.and beside buying fake products is forbidden by law.go for the real thing!

hmmm sounds like a legit reason to go buy the ipad although the apad is also registered as an authentic product aside from the apad, there's the wizpad and samsung's galaxy tablet...

I think its better to go for the original one because it has longer warranty. You are also sure that it has a high quality. Imitation products are easily destroyed compared to real ones. If it is not with good quality you will be spending more money for the repair. But you should also consider the features that you want in that kind of product so that you will also be satisfied

funny thing is... the apad came out before the ipad hahaha so now i'm kinda confused as to who is the imitation and who is the original hehehe it's funny how relative the term original is when a brand is attached to it

for me it depends on the product when you can use its imitation because sometimes it depends on your budget, but in this case ipad or apad i think its better to use the original ipad so that in case it gets destroyed you can be able to find repair shops for your gadget, because in imitations you will have hard time finding repair shops or most of the time imitations are disposable.

howdy yo chipesterkhan. . . . First, what's your point on having such gadgets? What are their values for you? If you got a lot of bucks and guts to have these stuffs without minding their values then get both of them. But, if you want guarantees mostly trusted values I highly suggest you to have the iPad i.e. the cheapest model or maybe a second hand or used model. For a sure shot, the best model has the best experiences you can have on an iOS iPad. It may costly but you can have a lot of offers or options can have. The aPad is cheap and less values. Has a lot of free stuffs. Its an Android OS a variant of Linux Ubuntu. Open-Source are great because they costless applications software that you want to have. Unless developers are not lazy innovating, developing, updating or debugging their products. Sometimes they just stop developing Open-Source projects because their focus developing on where they can have a lot of bucks or profits.

Ok lang yan bro! Kayang kaya mo yan. Try in sulit.com.ph hehehehehe. You can do that on iPad. Sketch, notepad, scribble and other things. From low specs to high specs models, the processor, wireless, bluetooth and iOS are the always on same standards for all models. The best specs is with already an iOS capable for multitasking. Beside that, if you want a 3G capable and more storage capacity that where the value of cost gets higher. Of course, old models are much cheaper than new models but still has lot of values or worthy to have and a lot of use and satisfactions.

APAD? I've never heard of it. And, no, I wouldn't use a knock off if it can be helped. I guess for investments like those, I would rather spend for the real thing, and be given the full satisfaction of the product, rather than buy a copy, and later on regret the purchase because of a poorer performance.

It is good to use the real thing rather than the imitation. Because the durability of the real thing is longer. And for me, it is more expensive when you use the imitation because they are easily to damage. And most of the time the imitation products are lead contaminated that is bad to our health.

Go for the real one. It is much better to choose original than those of imitated products. It's a good decision if you will buy an expensive than those cheap ones because sometimes products which have a high price are durable. You are more pretty sure that it is worth it. And it has more good features and it has a high quality.

for me being a student i would practically choose for the imitation cause i know how much is the burden my parents would caused if i go for the original one.. it depends on how you handle with care the imitation cause i know that there are some imitations that would last longer as long as you would give extra care on them..then if i have a work then that's the time i would buy a original one that would satisfy my needs.

You should choose ipad, eventhough it is expensive but atleast you can assure that it is with good quality rather than the imitation one. Quality is one way to determine whether the product is good. Imitation cannot last. I must prefer to buy those product that are original and authenticated to assure your self to harm because some of imitation products contains chemical. Be wise in buying such thing.

It is much better to go for the real one than having the imitation. It is much better to spend for the real thing than having the cheaper one. Even its expensive, you can use for a longer period of time than having the cheap ones and it would not last longer.

For me, if you have the money why not go for the real thing or known as the original because it is more of a good quality than the immitations.It is much more relieving to spend for the real thing especially if it will lasts longer than the spending for the immitations which has a same price with the original and don't last longer. But honestly I dont have an Ipod because I don't have the money and I have a lot things to prioritized.
