Lei Jun’s Tablet Manifesto
Earlier today: Lei Jun’s MiPad Challenge.

There’s a few places open to better interpretations — man, can Google Translate mangle things! — but I did my best and hope that I’ve brought across the spirit of his statement. I need to note that this shouldn’t be considered my writing. It’s based on the constraints of Google Translate.

All of the text past this sentence is from Xiaomi.

Same-day update: Apparently there is another Tmall listing where the price is still 1,099 yuan! So which is the correct listing and price? I have no idea.

Thanks to reznap in Comments for the tip.
