By now it's becoming common to measure the real popularity of an Apple product by how fast China bootleggers decide to produce knockoffs of the device du jour. Therefore it should come as no surprise that fake iPads have started popping up in China and, despite their dubious origins, the products are doing brisk business.
The body is thicker, the glass is cheaper, and the operating system is--gasp--Windows 7! Nevertheless, selling for a rather pricey 2,800 yuan ($410) the fake iPad will likely satisfy the locals while Apple takes its sweet time slowly rolling out the iPad internationally sometime in late May.
