I realize that the don't clone android phones because they don't have to, but I still find it amazing that China is so blatantly ballsy about copying IPhones.
I miss the days when innovation meant more to Apple than a slightly enlarged version of an existing product.
I wouldn't count on that. There is a huge market for knock offs.
People want to have the prestige of looking like they own an iconic brand without having to pay the real price.
Notice the attention to detail of this clone. To the untrained eye it would look like the real thing. I bet if you put the real product next to the copy that most people would have trouble figuring out which was which.
They didn't show making a purchase from the
App Store though.----------
Getting the software to layout on all the different screen sizes and look good in all form factors is an innovation. Don't forget about the software. Its the biggest part of the user experience.
That's just a bunch of words put together in the blind hope that some or any of it will make sense.
Two words: DUAL BOOT
My MBA can do it. I wouldn't have bought it otherwise. Now I use OS X almost exclusively but 0.1% of the time when I need windows I NEED windows. There are a few android apps not available on iOS so I keep an old android phone around for those rare need occasions as well. It would be nice to not have to do that.
Well, as much as United States are the Wild West when it comes to the actual property on a worldwide scale.
This makes no sense. What do the clones have to do with your enjoyment of the actual phone when it comes out?
Those days can come back if you cease visiting a website devoted to rumors and part leaks.
And so was that. You've basically described every thought ever conveyed by any means at all—save for maths. Well, anyway, enough philosophizing for me.
Hmmm... "GOO"phone... Goo means ***** in my language (Hindi)... Possibly a shitphone in real terms... But, I have never used it so can't really know...
We should send them the schematics of the Death Star... but as if we would be building ours.

These are the surprises now :s
Those who, unlike us, don't have a lot of disposable money to spend on a fancy case with outdated hardware inside. The chineses are explored workers, even those who works for apple at Foxconn! They don't have enough money to buy an original iPhone!
Why? I wish we would know exactly what was coming out months ahead. Then we could long range plan on what we are going to do, smartphone-wise.
I'm not. I'd want it the other way round. I dislike android but prefer a lot of the phones to the iPhone physically.
8GB Rom is NOT 8GB of Storage, ROM Is a read only disk (think CD-ROM) that have the crappy software preloaded on it...
they didn't really mention anything about the actual storage.
