> very adequate for a consumer product: It works.

To be sure of what anyone who knows Cherrypal's history knows anyway I did some search for the "Cherrypal developed" CherryPad America's looks and specs and found this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/DWM-R703-Tablet-Android-Pixels-Resolution/dp/B0043LVKDI

...with the difference that it's said to have a Telechips processor instead of the CherryPad's alleged Samsung processor.

The reason for this is that Android runs on smaller screen cell phones usually and only just recently also on the bigger screen tablet PCs. The web servers are detecting the client's Android system but can't tell a cell phone from a tablet PC obviously and thus change to the mobile version of the website for either device. To circumvent this the website would have to check the client's screen resolution via JavaScript for example and decide based on that.

> it has even reached mainstream, influential web sites

Didn't each and every Cherrypal product reach that site to date?
