It sure can´t be an easy task to become a successful tablet maker. I mean, there´s so many big companies on the market already (Sony, Samsung, Apple, Google, the list goes on and on).
But as 50 Cent used to say “Get Rich or Die Tryin”, YOLO right? (as the kids say nowadays).
So i guess that´s what the makers of the Wikipad are trying to do. Make it big time that is. Me, at first i didn’t even know what to make of the Wikipad. Because there are so many tablets on the market.
So what makes Wikipad standout from the crowd?
Well, it´s a “Android Gaming tablet” for starter. And it´s rather cheap actually (you can get it for about $199.99 + shipment via Wallmart).
Also there´s this “gamepad” attachment for the Wikipad (which turns the tablet into a mobile Android Gaming unit).
And i have read quite a few consumer statements about the Wikipad now, and i have to say that i´m very impressed by the Wikipad so far.
So i might just end up buying one for myself in the near future =)
