How would you like to read an e-book on a iPad look-a-like featuring an E-Ink display instead of a gorgeous LCD screen? That’s exactly what Yinlips, a chinese manufacturer is coming out with soon. The company is planning to release an ‘iPad clone’, a device that looks exactly like the iPad, but has a 6? E-Ink touchscreen, boasts a 20 hour battery life after a full charge. The device will support PDF, TXT, HTML and some photo formats.
No word on pricing, launch date or even what they’re planning to call the thing yet.

The speedy world of shanzai has cloned countless popular products Apple has put on the market. Especially the iPhone. Now with the rumored Apple iPad hopefully launching in early 2010 so say the rumors, a company called ‘Shenzhen Great Loong Brother Industrial’ has taken it upon themselves to launch possibly the world’s first clone of the impending Apple iPad. Then again, should it be considered a clone when Apple hasn’t even hinted at the existence of an Apple iPad?
Funny thing though, they are admitting it… Calling it the “Imitation Apple handwritten notebook”, via the help of trusty Google Translation. So yeah, they are acknowledging the fact that they have a clone in-hand.
Here’s the ‘P88? spec:
- Intel® Atom Mobile N270 1.6GFSB533(BGA)
- 1GB DDRII 667/533 MHz
- 10.2″ Screen
- Runs what appears to be Windows XP
Doesn’t seem all that bad right. All that running just 90 minutes, yes just 90 minutes after a full charge.
Check out more shoots of the device here.
