Yes, I got to use it and its quite adictive. Its really hard to even say that the Samsung Tablet competes to the Ipad, apple are in a special class. The Taboo tablet was made for the local wananchi. If you want something to compete with the Ipad, the costs will be too great. Its like comparing an Ideos to and Iphone 2. Comparisons need to be made using relevant features....dont compare a prado with a Range rover<div>

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