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"?

iRegards,

iTimo.
