Not sure someone who doesn't know what ROM is should be building a tablet...

What's so special about this tablet?

What's so special about this tablet?

I have been trying to figure that out too, so I did some reading.

The idea of an "indie" hardware company is great, the only problem is there's not much different to it. The specs are alright, but it is selling at the same price as the Nokia N1, which has higher specs. And the OS is basically a slightly customised Android from what I can tell, which you should be able to run on any other tablet.

A big problem is the battery which I think is way too small for the specs.

So I'm all for an independent tablet, but they'll have to bring something to the table, otherwise it's just another (in this case sub-par) tablet in a crowded market.
