Sorry for the tone. But your statement is factually not true. It is a ludicrous claim. There is a huge difference between a table that people are happy with, and a tablet that has the same specs at twice the price.
The tablet you linked to, for example, has a screen resolution of 800x480. That is far worse than even last year's Kindle fire, which had 1024 x 600, or the Nexus 7 or new Kindle Fire with 1280x800, or the new Fire.
The KF has a battery life of 8.5 hours. The KF HD has a battery life of 11 hours. The Nexus has a battery life of over 9 hours. From the reviews, the battery life on this is 3-4 hours.
(And of course many of the reviews are extremely critical of the device, claiming that the speed is really 800 mhz, that the charger doesn't work, etc.).
Again, this might be an option for someone who is budget conscious. But it is not at all the same, spec-wise or quality-wise, with a year-old KF, much less the Nexus 7 or new KF HD.
