Apple iPhone clone finally surfaces in China
March 22nd - 5 Responses

Finally! A Chinese manufacturer who appears to take a lot of influence from Apple’s industrial design team, has released a little tidbit of information on their miniOne mobile device, which is without a doubt a lovely little iPhone clone in the making. With a screen slightly smaller than an iPhone (by .2 inches), the miniOne features touch-screen technology running Windows CE 6.0 and supports GSM and TD-SCMA If they can offer this baby at a significantly lower price-point than an iPhone and actually include phone capabilities in Europe, I could see myself making a go for it, considering the iPhone will take too long to get to Europe and also cost slightly more than a PS3 (but will be so much better than a PS3). The miniOne from Meizu will launch in China at the end of 2007 and the company is stating that US and EU launches will follow, but only in the form of a media player. :(

    We will have to wait for the phone version of the miniOne to compare it to the iPhone. So it is no competitor at this time.

    I wonder if there will be any lawsuits coming from Apple because of this. A Windows based iPhone! If the miniOne ever comes out in the US as a phone and has an opened system, then I’m sure some controversy will ensue. Gotta love the Chinese and their knockoffs.

    well i was there, so were the iClones.. they lacked alot of the basics of the real deal. i wouldnt be willing to pay more than $50.00 USD for personal use, maybe $35.00 USD if i was going to buy over 100 for resale. remember… you will have no support and im not sure if a USA carrier will subsidy the clones. maybe the USA can not sue them but we dont have to support them… appears to be the latest attitude on products like these, and since the Chinese general public cant afford them… well that basically puts US in the drivers seat.

    in short…

    sorry China… nice try but i would more likely buy a “genuine” gold watch on the street for the same price (DUH!!)
