Cheaper knock-off gadgets are starting to hit the Chinese markets, in a bid to take advantage of consumer excitement surrounding the groundbreaking tablet device.

Key to their appeal are their prices; while a basic iPad model can be bought for roughly $500 (£340), the iPed is retailing for $150 (£100).

The iPed is currently on sale in the Chinese city of Shenzhen, which is the location of the largest Foxconn plant, where the iPad is manufactured.

Created by a company called Orphan Electronics, the rival device was released over the weekend"
