This isn't even a phone...so I wouldn't say it is "keepin' it real fake." Seriously, toy companies have been doing this for years. They get a cell-phone lookalike and make it play fun sounds. Give the kids a break. They want to join the bandwagon too.
id buy it if it spit out Fruit Stripe gum
In Engadget's crusade to go after those evildoers that sully the good, pure heart of AppleCo with their shameful, disgusting, downright unholy copies of Apple's wonderful devices, not even a kids toy is safe from their righteous scorn.
Shame on that damn company for doing this, and we all hope that any kid that uses it chokes on the plastic. Rancid little bastards should know better than to hurt Apple like that!
FRED, THAT'S FUNNY YOU'RE FUNNY
lol@fred
If it comes with a user-replaceable battery I'm in!
But it has HAPTIC FEEDBACK!
If it works with Verizon, then I'm in.
Instead of company email it's a dog!! That PWNS.
The "playing grown up" toys have come a long way from the "fake shaving kit" I had when I was a kid.........
Funny you should mention that... There IS a Shaver application for the iPhone.
yeah but does it have 120GAME IN1?
No it has 1001 in 1
It comes unlocked with free iFarm ring tones.
Just one: Old McDonald had a farm...
what about Bingo Was his Name-O. I call shenanigans if it doesn't include bingo :P
'Toggolino Phone' is a much better name than 'iPhone'. If Apple had named their product that, I would own one.
wait, not chinese this time?
Toggolino? Sure it's not Italian?
Oh god this is horrible..
leave my Jump to Conclusions mat out of this!
wait! stop the presses... i spy an apple keyboard in the background! ITS TEH BAIS!!!!!
And something tells me it wasn't by accident.
I for one am impressed. *rolls eyes*
um. chris, you do realize that my post was parody, right?
yeah.... this is awkward.
I actually think this thing is more functional than my Treo 700w.
buy a sanyo katana and then talk to me......
Do they have the barn-break patch out for this yet?
No, but I've heard they're shipping in 16 and 32 Pig versions...
see n' say's come a long way. no string to pull anymore!
If I were 8 years old, I will scream "I wanna the real one, not this junk!" after I open a Christmas gift.
Even my 8 year old knows better than to whine like that
i bet that toy has MMS and voice dialing
Engadget lies again. This is actually the new 3g Iphone. Don't you see the high quality plastic?
"The Apple Goes........$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$"
My hat's off to you sir. That was pure genius.
Basically all iPhone knockoffs and wannabes when compared to the real, real iPhone are just like this sauerkraut and weinershnitzel-snarfing Toggolino iPhony. All shape and copy but no substance. Makes me wanna laugh and smartphone makers want to cry.
Isn't this Toggolino using iSwish on Windows Mobile to try and duplicate Springboard on a true OSX-powered iPhone. I suppose this is as much as an iPhone killer as those other laughable iPhone imitators.
iPhone grober fehler is more like it.
that's some weird parody or something. lay off the ether dude
Steffen Jobbs, this must be a joke...
...because my brain just can't process the irony of your post right now. Look at your name, and then read your post again. Does anyone else see how humiliating and ironically doltish this is?
Ugh. It seems that your iPhone obsession has dramatically and gloriously dissolved your intelligence (assuming you had it before this fetish turned you into a brand-slave)
One final thought: My Zune can kick your iAnything's ass in terms of price, size, anti-elitism, overall quality, and coolness factor. Mine's black. Rawk!
What do you have to say about that?
...What was this article about again?
Oh, right...
The iPhone-user goes "WAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"
Here, let me wipe that tear for you, I don't want you to smudge your iScreen.
*smacks his own forehead to erase the painful elitism=fanboyism flame wars*
God, you iPeople suck. When will you do something meaningful besides spam the forums with useless Apple patriotisms....such as, kill yourself? Well, hop to it! Since Mac's are so user friendly, you have plenty of time to plan your final escape!! Come on, let's see some blood! I want entrails to fly! Let's put that Mac to the greatest use imaginable and show me some creative deaths on youtube!

"What do you have to say about that?"
You didn't mention capacity on your Zune rant.
As someone with a 100GB library of music, even the top of the range Zune makes me sad. In this case iPod is FTW.
@BuddyBoy
It's a 30gb Zune, 1st Gen with the 2nd Gen Firmware, but the interface still kills the iPod. Come on, monochromatic menu's? Is the Tandy2000 still in style?
Oh, and it only cost me $150.
Number munchers rawk! \\m//
Oregon Trail anyone? 4 oxen across the Fjord!
...crap, I just got dysentary. Game over.
haha... very good

what is, your website? you're sadly mistaken
I hope someone figures out how to replace the real icons with those animals.
The reference to Orwell's Animal Farm made me smile.
sweet, we're brainwashing our kids into apple addicts!
To cow says MOOOOOOOOOOooooooo.
Ok, how many keepin it real fake is that? CXVIII is what number now?
118.
Roman numerals??? They never even TRIED to teach us that in school!
I know ... Rocky V! That was the fifth one. So, Rocky five plus Rocky two equals ... Rocky VII! "Adrian's Revenge"!
Did you know that over LXXXIV% of the population cannot read Roman numerals?
Price Drop! now $1.99 with a 2 year old contract
