AndyPad Warning! Unliscened use of Andriod Marketplace!

http://www.andypad.co.uk/default.aspx

If your looking for a cheap tablet for kids for christmas, don't buy this!

It's well worth reading this article, http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/30/andypad-pro-review/ and reading the comments, whilst it looks nice the CEO is reported as saying Google arent going to care he's using Andriod Marketplace without their permission - He got response after asking permission saying no.

How do I know this?

I was speaking to a employee about reviewing one for my blog and was told then. Obviously I've not reviewed one for my blog as I don't want to get on the wrong side of Google!

Perhaps go for the new Kindle instead? It's cheaper too.

    Or indeed if, they have some problems with the patents around the cloud functionality iirc
    If at first you don't succeed, maybe bomb disposal isn't the best career choice.
