Keepin' it real fake, part CCXVIII: iPhome 3G for the wim!

Sure, we've seen plenty of iPhone clones in our day, but we'll say this: this is the clome to beat all clomes. It really takes the KIRF standard up a notch, running the best fake OS X we've seen to date. This one's identity is less confused than many of the knockoffs we usually see, and if you're lucky enough to get your hands on one of these 4GB having-babies... well, you just might be able to convince your grandma that it's the iPhone 3G S. Video is after the break.

I guess Palm should just give up. They can't compete with this :(

Well I don't read Chinese, but it looks pretty impressive. Hey, I'm all for clones... they keep innovation moving forward, and the prices down....

omg this isn't a ripoff. engadget you r such fanbois. first you think the Meizu M8 is a clone and now this. Apple didn't invent the rectangle!! I'm completely oblivious to people copying someone else.

/window fanboy

[CaptCaveman Posted Jun 21st 2009 2:04AM]

What! No copy and paste?!

[iknowaeiou Posted Jun 21st 2009 2:22AM]

did Jobs get his liver from the same company?

I kid. I'm not fond of Apple, but I wish Steve all the best.

DON'T YOU QUIT ON ME!

what's this mean? I don't understand.

Better than axim ... which i still use...

In China, phones clone you!

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 21st 2009 6:54AM]

they're usually between 700 and 900 rmb. (between 100 and 130USD)

[sirfelix Posted Jun 21st 2009 9:33AM]

You youngsters forget that it was the PC clones that advanced the computer industry, almost killing the old Apple. Apple's attitude and proprietary metalilty will eventually commit suicide. On that day I will dance on Steve Job's grave.

[pukerocket Posted Jun 21st 2009 2:26PM]

Why would you do that?

Either you bought Apple products, and now you feel ripped off. Or you can't afford Apple products and you're green with envy.

Which is it?

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 21st 2009 10:58AM]

This would make the greatest gag gift ever. I have the perfect person in mind

[El Guano Posted Jun 21st 2009 4:18PM]

Why is over 50% of the video taken up by someone playing with the keyboard in a single app? Do the other icons/apps not work or something?

[peepeeland Posted Jun 21st 2009 5:04PM]

For a second I thought the music was the same as used in the Ellen Feiss commercials...

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 21st 2009 10:18PM]

What a crappy song!! :(

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 14th 2009 3:37PM]

Why do people make iPhone clones, a even better question is why does Apple price the iPhone 3gs at $600(wholesale).it only costs $178 to make the iPhone 3Gs.

There is no meaning in buying a clone, the reason I bought the iTouch(didnt want the iPhone, i have Android) is because of the OS, not the hardware!
