Shenzhen manufacturer JXD has taken time away from ripping off well-known consoles to bring us a 7-inch Android-powered gaming tablet, complete with a D-Pad and face buttons. Following in the footsteps of the Yinlips YDPG 18, the JXD S7100 has a 800 x 480 capacitive touchscreen, an ARM Cortex A9 CPU and Mail 400 GPU, 512MB of RAM, 16GB of storage, and HDMI-out. Since the tablet is being marketed as a device to play old school arcade games, the failure to add shoulder buttons is a pretty big oversight, but at least you'll have a front (0.3-megapixel) and rear (2.0-megapixel) camera to capture all of the fun you're having . A video on the product’s site shows a user playing both touchscreen games and classic ROMs, as well as downloading both apps and games to the device from JXD’s storefront. We know what you really want is the PS Vita, but how does a colossal Xperia Play with no phone for $139.99 sound instead?

Never heard of this company before. Then I clicked on the link in the article. How can this company not feel ashamed of themselves? I hope no one sues. I have too much pity for them.

It’s tempting to just email that link to Apple and Sony and wait 3-5 days for the lawsuits.

LOL, I’m sure these companies will take it as joke until enough unaware people start to buy it and then they will sue.
I’ve never seen one page on the net that has stolen as much as JXD has. It really is sad. Literally everything on that page has been stolen or has a company’s IP infringed upon.

In fact the website design is a direct rip off of Apple’s site. It’s kind of the Asian way.

It’s the People’s Republic of China way.
It’s embarrassing

Still, this is a great idea. I’ve been waiting for a major manufacturer to try exactly this with tablets, but so far everyone has been too busy trying to rip off Apple’s business model.

Taken time away from ripping off well known consoles? No, they ripped off the Wii-U this time.

HAHAA! Who would put gaming controls on an Android device, when their aren’t ANY good games other than Fruit Slice! Someone tell me a good game on and Android device which isn’t from an iPhone like Angry Birds or Fruint Ninja!

Considering only Android has emulators I could list at least 500 good games the iPhone doesn’t have.

This isn’t the first time someone tries something like this. Who remembers the Tapwave Zodiac?… anyone?

No shoulder buttons? That completely ruins what could have been a very promising device.

Wow, I definitely smell a lawsuit or two here and actually applicable unlike Apple’s outlandish claims on things that are just way too general to even begin to win their lawsuits against Samsung.

Lawsuit against who? It’s just a Android tablet with gaming controls.

That’s a straight up PSP Go in terms of design! I know Sony’s got some sweet design guys (probably the best in the industry along with Apple) But come on random Chinese manufacturers. There’s a perfectly legit market for this stuff, you don’t need to make knock offs.

It’s funny how they keep saying ‘we are different’ before showing their Wii U/PSP Go mashup and listing all the games made by other companies that you can illegally run on it.
Please, Sony, Nintendo – even Bieber – somebody sue.
Crazy thing is, it would have been quite a cool device if they hadn’t KIRFed it into laughing stock territory. (am I allowed to say KIRF on The Verge?)

I agree with you man. Unfortunately, suing don’t do much good as this kind of crap products are probably made in a homebrew factory. The authorities can’t do much and they probably won’t. Shut this down and a hundreds of others will pop up. Its a shame really, but this kind of crap is just the tip of the iceberg representing Chinese society. Sorry to lecture you, I’m Chinese and this kind of crap pisses me off because its shameful we resort to this kind of things to make money.

Coming from a Chinese person, this kind of crap pisses me off. Feeds into the stereotype that Chinese make cheap knockoffs. Buy buy or support this kind of crap. Its probably made privately and illegally in a homebrew factory that uses sweatshop labor and operates without any safety standards. I hate to say this as a Chinese patriot, but this iis the kind of crap I wish our society could stop doing.

No offense, but iPads, Wiis, and PSPs are also made in Chinese sweatshops without any safety standards.
And, as far as I know, I haven’t seen many laws regulating working conditions and/or copyright infringement in China.
