Is it just another alibaba.com OEM gadget being marketed as "Locally developed"? Most likely. bernard On Thu, Nov 10, 2011 at 10:27 AM, Timothy Mutugi <timothymutugi@gmail.com>wrote:
iSkunks,
Back in the day, when I was still young, I contacted some chinese guys on alibaba.com and enquired about building a PC branded with my Name...Mutugi PC, MutugiSoft, Mutugi Computers, etc. etc.
They told me that that was possible, I believe they called it OEM, i.e. you can basically put any brand name on the barebone PC and sell it as if you have invented it. Anyway, I decided to put that project on hold after the refurbished PCs started flooding the market.
Almost 2 years ago, I had a similar idea, I wanted to create an iMutugi tablet PC and so I went to alibaba.com once again and I identified several tablet manufacturers doing the OEM thing and we embarked on negotiations, however, I lost interest along the way and I was also bogged down by other nation building duties.
Now, recently I heard about the Kaboo Tablet and one thing that I noticed was that it is being marketed as:
"developed by our very own Computer Engineers in partnership with American and Chinese Engineers"...
or
..."they have developed a Tablet that rivals the iPad yet at a most affordable price."
My dear iSkunks, is this thing really a rival to the iPad?
Is there anyone on the list who has used it?
Is it just another alibaba.com OEM gadget being marketed as "Locally developed"?
