In Asian markets, cheap tablets aren't news at all. You could even get one for $30. But the society in general doesn't trust such low-end products. Asians are very skeptical. Yes, loads of peoples still buy them. But no one would choose this over a high end device just because of the price. If they happen to beat the IPad sales, it's not because people find this more attractive than the ipad, it's just that those people can't afford to buy an ipad but would still like a piece of the game.
So it's not exactly a competitor of main stream tablets, its more of a niche product. And in US they are trying to be "disposable". Aiming for more niche markets like schools. It's a pretty good strategy. In fact they are more likely to get more sales in US because as you can see, a lot of people here are considering buying it. In India, most people would see the price and would stop reading. They wouldn't even bother with the specs. Inherent skepticism.
