    The Playstation Move is a Wii clone – but it’s awesome

    The Playstation Move is just what it looks like: a Wii clone. It feels the same, looks the same, and works the same. That’s a good thing, though. Everyone and their grandmother has played Wii bowling and knows how it works. Sony isn’t reinventing motion control with the Move. They are, however, seriously improving it. A [...]

  • Sony Ericsson’s Cedar, Yendo are official: candybar and an Android-free X10 mini clone

    Sony Ericsson’s Cedar, Yendo are official: candybar and an Android-free X10 mini clone

    Posted on June 16, 2010 | No Comments
    If the phone on the left looks familiar, it should -- it looks a heck of a lot like the Android-powered X10 mini, sharing the 2.6-inch touchscreen and some of its UI cues -- but alas, this bad boy isn't running Android. Instead, Sony Ericsson is branding this fairly low-end dumbphone as the rumored Yendo with Walkman branding, a 2 megapixel cam, and FM radio; interestingly, it lacks 3G, instead offering one of two dual-band GSM / EDGE choices in ten colors. On the right, you've got the Cedar, bringing back what's quickly become a dying form factor as of late -- the simple candybar -- with a 2 megapixel cam and VGA video capture at 30fps, 3G, a 2.2-inch display, and 3.5mm headphone jack available either in black with silver accents or red accents. Both will be available in the third quarter, though the Yendo has been slapped with the "selected markets" label, so we suspect it'll be the harder to find of the two.

    iPhone 4 gets KIRFy with an antenna

    Posted on June 2, 2010 | No Comments
    We're sort of loving the fact that Apple's next-gen iPhone is already being KIRFed up, and although we've already seen a couple clumsy attempts at beating Apple to market with a clone of its own product, this lovely GPS-PHONE raises the bar by adding in a telescopic antenna. What's it for? We have no idea. We just know we want one.

    You have to admit, that's a good looking clone. Sans the logo up top, it looks nearly identical to the Motorola Droid.

    Either you lead or follow and Chinese manufacturing houses have been chasing Apple's designs for years. The iPad is just their latest victim. You can't blame them, really. It's the hottest device since the rotary phone. We've seen a steady stream of clones flowing onto the web for months. Here's the seven best starting with the just-found iPed.

    Inkia’s iPad clone, inPad, gets spec’d out

    Posted on May 24, 2010 | No Comments
    The Inkia inPad is a shameless iPad clone right down to the bezel and name. We first spotted the clone a few weeks back but hardware details didn't accompany the pictures. Basically, a Chinese manufacturer got our attention by photocoping the iPad and installed Android. But we've kind of lost interest now that we know what's on the inside.

    See that? That’s Android 1.6 (or “Andriod”, it seems) and Windows Mobile 6.5, on the same HTC Diamond 2(ish phone). Sure, it’s a knock-off made in China — and sure, it may very well explode into a fiery ball of death mere inches from your face. But if you’re worried about that, than you’re just [...]

    In case you’re having trouble keeping up with all these iPad wannabes, here are a few others we’ve written about: Antom N450, Meizu, AK7801. It doesn’t look like there is anything particularly noteworthy about this device, except maybe the fact that this tablet pc actually called Tablet PC.

    Lenovo's previous nettop entry was just your standard Mac Mini-clone, encased in a drab black box. But the just-announced Q150 shouldn't have any issues standing out from the crowd. Forget about the sleek exterior, it's the included bitch'n Lenovo wireless keyboard/mouse that will please the masses [of nerds].

    Send in the clones: Shanzhai’s version of the Nokia C2 is out there

    Posted on May 5, 2010 | No Comments
    There’s been rumors floating around about the existence of a Nokia C2, but there really hasn’t been any kind of reliable siting, and a phone with a rotatable screen just seems a bit off. That doesn’t stop the knockoffs from coming out of Shanzhai though, and they’ve already made a clone. No pricing or availability [...]

    Posted on May 3, 2010 | No Comments
    iPad clones are hitting the scene at such a rapid pace that we simply can't keep track of all them. Most of them aren't worth your time but this boy is turning heads with specs to die for. Within the clearly iPad-inspired bezel is a 1Ghz ARM Cortex-A8 CPU, 512GB or RAM, 10-inch 1024x600 display, and a 2400mAH battery. All that power should run Android 2.1 without breaking a sweat.

    How many Shanzai does it take to clone the new iPhone? Apparently one and he doesn’t need very long to do it, either. Hot on the heels of the iPhone leak Chinese cloners are already producing iPhone-alikes that look just like the iPhone HD/4G/XXX/]I[. Shenzhai makers in Shenzhen that have the most acute business sense took [...]

    The Leica V-Lux 20 gets official

    Posted on April 20, 2010 | No Comments
    There isn't much to say here. We already knew that the Leica V-Lux 20 was going to be a DMC-ZS7 clone with the same 12.1 MP 25-300mm lens arrangement, GPS, and 3-inch LCD. And we were really close on the price, too, stating that it would retail for €549 where in fact it's coming with a €499 MSRP. So yeah, there isn't much to say here but you may wanna click through to view a gallery of the sexy matte black shooter.

    Well know that’s an abonination. This Chinese crazy pad runs Windows and has a 10-inch screen running an Antom N450 processor. There’s no telling if this thing actually runs or not – the screen looks pretty janky – and there are no prices. I suspect this is a Shanzai unit that may or may not be [...]
