    A open source competitor to the iPad: Win!

    Forget about all the hardware/OS complaints people have with the iPad (no USB or multitasking, etc) that isn't why I don't like it. I despise iTunes as a content delivery system. Poor quality, closed source software that I personally think is overpriced. Forget the price of an iPhone or iPad most people can and will easily spend $100+ on software for it, and much of this is software that preforms functions that can be obtained for free or is bundled with most modern operating systems. Oh, say like a calculator. Instead you have to shell out your money to the Apps Store. We of course should all realize that Apple gets a cut from each app sold, which is reason enough for them not to include basic apps.

    I am a bit worried about the WePad living up to the hype. I really hope it does and the popular public can be swayed to buy them.

    I was just curious to who actually builds them and the level of craftsmanship.

    Well from what I can find out they are going to be built in China, but the folks at WePad are not reporting the actually company making them.
