Tablet computers abound

I’m finding more tablet computers that are on par with the iPad from a spec sheet point of view, and in some key ways, are actually better. Like this one. This Eken M001 has an SD memory card in addition to USB ports. It can also hold 32 GB of info. I think it might even be lighter than the iPad. I can’t remember what the iPad weighs, but this thing clocks in at 0.77 pounds, so it should be easy to carry. Here’s the best part; you can own this piece of technology for only $140. The deal breaker is that you can only buy it if you live in China. Hopefully we’ll see this or something similar to it in the near future.
