Hi, same class - I don't know what you mean by that so I'll move on to the apps bit of your question. I have a EKEN M001 running Android 1.6 a lot of apps run fin and having that extra big screen is a joy (high-res 7" 480x800 TFT display, SD card reader, WiFi, 600MHz CPU and 128MB RAM). I bought it as it to have a play about with and didn't want another phone smart or not.
I'm happy with mine and there's a thriving scene around these things with tons more MID and ebook readers coming on the market challenging IPAD (non are ever going to get the numbers though). I'm mostly looking forward to Lenova UI Hybrid looks a bute.
