The only technical facts from either seem to be "runs Android apps" and "based on Linux", which makes it seem like this is just another vendor-skinned Android build. It certainly looks Android-y to me.
My prediction is that, like most of the bargain basement Android devices, it will be crummy. Although probably crummier than usual if they've thrown away the default Google UI and replaced it with a budget-developed vendorware skin.
