$229 on order about the same in AU$ (currently about 1:1 exchange rate ?).

This is probably a Spanish language site for a Chinese product.

I am also curious on it.

The only catch is that it runs on ARM like Android and iOS tablets, but apps like Stellarium are rather easily recompiled. Download a compile kit and compile it on the tablet itself. Unlike Android, and particularly iOS, it is a full blown OS.

I have an Android phone (Sony Xperia ZU) which does the job reasonably and a simple tablet with a crippled OS on it (iPad Air 2). The latter I never use, it is for some websurfing and mailing of my girlfriend. It runs Skysafari OK but that also works on my Sony.

So a real tablet without Apple (and Google) limitations by design would be very welcome.
