It's hard to find Android and Windows tablets that are as attractive, lightweight, and simple as the iPad. One Chinese tech company, however, has come pretty close.
The Onda V919 3G Air looks exactly like the iPad Air, but it doesn't run iOS like Apple's current tablets and iPhones. Rather, users can switch between Android and Windows 8.1, Chinese tech blog PC Pop reports (via Phone Arena).
There's also another significant difference between the Onda V919 3G Air and the iPad Air — it's extremely cheap. While the iPad Air 2 starts at $499, Onda's tablet is listed at about $177 on its website, which is a fraction of what Apple's tablet costs.
Onda says the V919 comes with a 9.7-inch 2048 x 1536 resolution display just like the iPad Air 2. There's also 64GB of internal storage that can be expanded up to 128GB and 3G connectivity built it, which means you would be able to use cellular data instead of scouting out a Wi-Fi network.
What's odd, though, is that the advertising materials on Onda's website don't make it clear whether or not the tablet can actually run both Windows and Android. Based on the visuals and bits of translated text, it only mentions Android. Other online retailers and tech blogs that have written about the tablet, however, do mention that dual-boot feature.
