It seems like there are almost as many news stories about the iPad as the number of them sold. Clearly, Apple has the first mover advantage as they did with the iPhone and many of their other products. However, many alternative tablets are in development, including Neofonie’s WePad. Despite the knock-off name, this is no inferior counterfeit-like device. The WePad has incredible specs and runs on Google’s Android OS. Check out the side-by-side comparison below which show the WePad specs followed by parenthesis with the iPad specs.
