$99 Chinese Tablet Is MIPS-Based, Runs Android 4.0

ingenic_ainovoYou could be forgiven for overlooking the Ainovo Novo7, a 7-inch Chinese Android tablet, as likely just another me-too device to be sold in electronics districts next to fake iPhones and bulk cables. And in a way, that's what it is: at $100, it can't possibly be as well-built as the iPad or newer Galaxy Tabs, and the size and design aren't going to impress anyone. But it's got two things going for it: Ice Cream Sandwich and MIPS.Naturally to many people neither of those terms signify much of anything. Most people only care whether it runs Netflix and Angry Birds. But both these features point at an interesting breakage between the China and US markets, one that will only widen with time.
