"“Never before in history has innovation offered promise of so much to so many in so short a time.” - Bill Gates' quotation has held true for the Chinese shanzhai makers as well, who have excelled at their craft, transforming from a bunch of copycats to the innovators of new breeds of gadgets and gizmos. Lately, the success of shanzhai innovators has turned a lot of heads, and it seems like the Chinese officials are now in a caring mood. They want to encourage and preserve the innovation involved in the shanzhai gadget designs by making them legally more sound."
I've looked at bargain shanzai tablets quite a bit over the last few months as a possible replacement for my current e-reader. Battery life is a big problem, but software support is a bigger problem. Innovation is good, but if turnover of newer hardware is more important than service and support then its too risky.
