Proview’s iPad is actually an early iMac clone!


Proview have managed to do what Samsung would love to. They have managed to get Apple’s iPad tablet taken off store shelves and removed from sale on e commerce sites, but what does Proview’s iPad look like anyway?

Proview are stirring up quite a stink in China, and all over the Apple loving world for that matter. It’s clear that the iPad trademark was actually filled by them, but what did Proview’s iPad look like compared to Apples iPad tablet?

Proview’s iPad system actually started development way back in 1998, which puts name ownership well in Proview’s hands, however judging by the shaking iMac knock off they stuck the iPad name to it’s a wonder they have the nerve taking Apple to court in the first place.
