you'll be surprised what chinese have achieved. there is currently on sale chinese tablets with dual core cpu and quad core gpu, 1gb ram, 16gb storage, 10inch IPS screens and all bells and whistles (like HDMI output, SD card support, dual USB ports etc) with 7+ hours of battery life for 215 USD.. its all a matter of a win8 RT driver for the particular SoC. run a search for "Rockchip RK3066" SoC (in particular check for a tablet called R2000 or Cube U30GT. I already own the single core version of that tablet and i assure u the build quality, screen etc are in par with ipad2.
