Keepin' it real fake, part CLXXII: QQ spins iriver SPINN into lookalike K819

Man, these guys and gals are quick. Just weeks after we were finally able to hold an iriver SPINN in our own palms, along comes this marvel from China-based QQ. The K819 unashamedly apes the most telling design characteristics of iriver's latest, though the phony does come in multiple hues while boasting "high-grade texture" and oodles of "elegance and style." To be honest, we're not so sure any of these images are more than mere renders, though QQ does promise a 3.0-inch WQVGA display, MP4 support and guaranteed humiliation from your pals.

Either those pictures are photo shopped so bad or that screen stretchs your face really bad.

I think what you meant to say was "Either those pictures are photo shopped so bad or that thing was designed by Escher"

@ Mark

Not to be that guy, as usual, but I think you mean Dali. If Escher had designed that, she would have stairs coming out of her mouth.

Dali did melting stuff, Escher did impossible geometric shapes

Because Copyrights are a complete mess in China, I am not sure if this "QQ" is the same as Tencent's QQ - the Chinese SMS and Instant Messaging system (I use it too).

If it was a PMP that had WiFi access to QQ, it would actually be worth getting if you were a Chinese teen.

FUGLY

There you are, Fuzo! I was beginning to think we lost you for a while. How's tricks over there in Mordor, troll?

It might no be him. This guy has been changing his name. This the fourth today. Thats why his account is hidden.

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 9th 2008 10:48AM]

I'm pretty sure it's him. You can tell his species by the distinct "FUGLY" preceeding most of the comments. Although, he looks very unprofessional now... I really can't put my finger on it.

He and Clak keep getting banned. That's why they have so many accounts.

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 9th 2008 10:53AM]

It definitely his fourth or fifth name change to day. You can tell because he was called high rank and then changed his name to what it is now but it took his account half hour to change while his name changed to 006.

Unless they have AMOLED lol

[Jack Bauer Posted Dec 9th 2008 11:19AM]

I love the "Keeping it real fake" series. They never cease to make me smile and shake my head in disbelief at the unimaginative morons that keep the aforementioned series at the forefront of the Engadget posts. Classic.

Is that a Natalie Portman lookalike, too?

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 9th 2008 11:47AM]

...or did Natalie Portman KIRF Audrey Hepburn? Much larger questions are raised here.

[parkds Posted Dec 9th 2008 1:20PM]

I would vote Natalie Portman KIRF Audrey Hepburn. I believe that is a still from the Audrey Hepburn movie Funny Face. Man I have seen too many films if I can identify that!

All QQ no pew pew!

[Rob Bourne Posted Dec 9th 2008 1:30PM]

I wonder if this company knew what their name meant on the internets...

The boss would probably QQ himself to sleep at night.

"Other features include a WQVGA resolution, TF card slot and a 2 MP camera on the back of the hinge (see photo below). Pricing to be announced."

A camera in an PMP? Pretty amazing haha.

"What, no I'm not taking a picture of you! Just listening to some music..."
