iPhone clone now available

Meizu has released its Hua Long IP2000 GSM handset in China, and this marks yet another iPhone clone hitting the market before the iPhone’s official release. Of course, this is one of the more blatant rip offs since the IP2000 even comes with the picture of a large apple behind. Sources say that the general look and feel of the handset right down to the user interface is not too far off from the real deal. The features ain’t half bad though, with a 3.5″ display, MP3 and MPEG 4 support, and a 2 megapixel camera holding the fort. Those who can’t wait for the real deal can readily hand over $140 to intellectual property thieves.
