Tired of all those “jumbo iPhone” jibes you keep hearing about the iPad? So are we, but there’s simply no other way to describe this priceless Shenzhen knockoff than as a supersized iPod. Featuring the unmistakable click wheel and what looks like some sort of riff on Apple’s Mac OS, the “new” iPad will be [...]
We almost hate to throw the KIRF moniker on a product we wouldn’t mind owning, but this e-reader that popped up at the EREXPO in Shenzhen certainly bears more than a passing resemblance to the Spring Design Alex e-reader — and the button layout on the right is a dead ringer for the Kindle. It’s [...]
Coveting a beautiful new netbook but can’t quite manage the $399 for a new HP Mini 5101/5102? Maybe this knock-off would fit your budget, looking more or less indistinguishable from the real thing. The ports have a slightly different layout (with some of them looking a wee bit askew) and the red hue here doesn’t [...]
When one thinks of a PSP Phone, they usually imagine a handset with a number of cool, gamer-centric features, such as some sort of integration with the PlayStation network or — imagine! — the ability to actually play PSP games. What they don’t imagine — correct us if we’re wrong — is some sort of [...]
It would seem like we’ve recalled our editor from Shenzhen a little prematurely. The land of Yao has gone and answered all the iPad’s critics in resounding style: TESO’s 10-inch clone tablet features a full-blown Windows 7 install (check), 1024×600 capacitive touchscreen display (check), HDMI output (check), a 1.66GHz Atom N450 (vroom vroom!), 1GB of [...]
There are many of us simple humans who “just don’t get” the Motorola Backflip. Their poor minds can’t fathom this oddest of twists on the QWERTY flip, and now here comes the “MOTOROIA” ME600 from Shenzhen to wrap their brain into ever more elaborate pretzel knots. The phone is a pretty faithful reproduction, but it’s [...]
No matter how realistic a KIRF phone looks these days, there’s always a catch somewhere. For instance, this GSM handset is pretty much an exact clone of the HTC Tattoo, except for a couple of debatably important things: the suspiciously-cheerful $169 price tag, and the fact that Windows Mobile (and not Android) is running the [...]
We hate to yell “Pre!” at the top of our lungs here, since we’d really like to see further exploration of the portrait QWERTY form factor for Android, but it’s hard to avoid the form factor and stylistic comparisons. The new “Smooth” phone from ZTE is a low-end handset running Android 1.6, with a 2.8-inch [...]
Guys, seriously: you’re going to love this one. Indian site Infibeam — which looks at least somewhat “legit” — has completely ripped off Amazon.com… as in pretty much copied it exactly. Now, we’re no strangers ourselves to a bit of ‘fan fictionizing’ of our name and likeness (for retail locations), but this is possibly the [...]
Poor Bumblebee! This is one transformation that he and his metallic chums wouldn’t be proud of — it’s even got the Autobot logo on the back, presumably without permission. We’re looking at the Golden Bumblebee which boldly claims to be the “world’s smallest slider phone,” but with that KIRF S.T. Dupont label, hint of Vertu’s [...]
