Pandering alert! A bookstore chain called Family Christian has taken a crappy Android tablet, slapped a new logo on it, and rebranded it as the Edifi — the world’s first Christian tablet!
And what makes it a Christian tablet? That would be 27 translations of the Bible, Christian internet radio, and safe search (no porn allowed). For £100-odd, you can get the holiest slate on the market (save for the Good Book). But really, this is just a seven inch piece of junk.
Without the godly branding, it’s the Cydle M7, a garbage gadget made by a company you’ve never heard of. Although maybe the good lord is really into a 2010 POS running Android 2.3. We have no way of knowing. At least the unblessed version is £15 cheaper. If you’re looking for a deal, you’re really really better off going with the HTC Flyer or Google’s soon-to-be-released Nexus 7, or even an iPad and downloading one of the dozens of iOS or Android Bible apps out there. But of course, those aren’t officially branded as holy. [Family Christian via Fox News via The Verge]
Holy Moly!
Android Tablets have obviously massively evolved since 2010. But fundamentalist Christians are experienced at ignoring evidence of evolution so they will be happy with this.
I suppose it is a slight upgrade from the Stone Tablets with the 10 commandments on them..
Hah! Slow progress is still progress
OK, i’m not big on my Bible studies, BUT, didn’t Jesus kick out all the money lenders who were making money in the temple? I.e. people making cash of the back of the religion? “My house will be called a house of prayer, but you are making it a den of robbers.”
It sounds like these happy clappers need to read their bibles and stop making a quick buck out of their religion and “robbing” people with crappy quality tablets that for £100 will almost certainly function properly for less than a month.
