Keepin’ it real fake: ‘new’ iPad is the jumbo iPod you always wanted, coming April 3

Tired of all those “jumbo iPhone” jibes you keep hearing about the iPad? So are we, but there’s simply no other way to describe this priceless Shenzhen knockoff than as a supersized iPod. Featuring the unmistakable click wheel and what looks like some sort of riff on Apple’s Mac OS, the “new” iPad will be on sale immediately alongside Apple’s offering, this April 3, for 2,000 Yuan ($290). Of course, we doubt Shenzhen Huayi’s distribution network will stretch quite all the way to the USA, but given the population of 1.3 billion people in China, someone’s bound to be happy to help you out. What say you — does this 4GB pen-friendly beastie do anything for you?

[Thanks, Taimur]
