Sears "Androids iPad aternative"

[Rrok007]

HGas anyone seen this before and can identify it? I was kind of interested in looking at it but unfortunately, it's not a unit actually carried in the stores. Apparentyl Choice Avenu is a third-party selling through Sears. I tried googling the company but didn't find anything.

Looks like the Apad or Epad that you can get off ebay for $100.

Nah, that's something else. But it looks nice, I am looking into one myself.

 

[Rrok007]

So then I would take it that getting it through the Sears store front for $120+ is actually not a bad price coparatively speaking?

Real question is... is $125 for a tab like this a good deal, or is it still over priced? Looking at the specs and comparing it to what I've seen for similar (Sylvania, Craig, Kyros) it doesn't seem like a bad deal. Or is this a problematic tab?

 

[Rrok007]

I goofed looking at the price. They want $224... And nothing seems to indicate who the manufacturer is other than the chipset....

Still... is that a horrible price for that tab?

 

[Rrok007]

Funny... looks like they just removed it.... all the difference 30 minutes makes....

 

[Rrok007]

Since we know it's a Rockchip 2818... is there any way to identify which one it is?
