Keepin' it real fake, part XCIII: Bestlink Electronics clones the HTC Touch

Oh poor little Bestlink Electronics BL 3280. You look just like the HTC Touch, but you have no phone, no touchscreen, and your casing appear to be made from reconstituted Batman action figures. Sure, they say that you can play MPEG4, MP3, WMA, WMV, ASF and WAV files, and that you're no slouch at viewing e-books or JPEGs, but does that help you get to sleep at night? You can boast about your "dynamic GUI" all you want, or flaunt your FM radio and "gaming functionality" (though we're not sure how that works with your lack of buttons), but deep down you're just another, shoddy knock-off -- and we know it. Hey, at least you're not called the Pouch. Price and availability unknown -- we guess cheap and soon.

Now this has to be the most disappointing product in the KIRF series. It does nothing worthwhile for the size.

"Reconstituted Batman action figures" killed me.

Thank you Engadget, and goodnight.

It looks like a Mc Donalds Toy...

A clone of a wanna-be . . . yeah, that's pretty bad.

Did they not know that what they copied was originally a phone? Next thing you know they'll be using toasters as an encloser.

I stopped reading gizmodo to get away from pictures of gadgets with stupid faces on them

Do they haunt you when you sleep?
