iPhone clone?

Read about it here: http://www.macnn.com/articles/07/01/...clone.surfaces ... I'd say the specs look nice.

(Lawsuit follows, I'd say.)

Man, that's pretty close. I actually even like the other phone as well as the iPhone. I guess it's that whole thing about imitation and flattery....that old chestnut.

I actually like the icons better on that Windows phone. The iPhone's icons are too colourful. Toyish, I find.

This'll be a fun one... overseas suing is always spectacular.

I also wonder when and where the device - if ever - will appear in the market.

lawsuit!

note: the bottom icons are in the EXACT same place. Also, why is the bottom cut off?

yikes, that is similar. Has a higher res screen and 3 MP camera though, which I'd like to see the iPhone copy.

Why does apple always skimp out on the resolution of their portable devices?

Well: That clone has over 200 ppi AFAIK and that's not "necessary" yet. I think the resolution for the iPhone is not too shabby per se. I _love_ watching video on my current iPod, so I'm sure I'd appreciate the (almost) widescreen higher resolution iPhone screen very much.
