,----[ Quote ]
| Over at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, Korean technology
| firm iRiver has been exhibiting a prototype device known as the "iRiver GSM
| Phone". According to PC Magazine, the unit bears an uncanny resemblance to
| Apple's iPhone, is powered by the Linux operating system and features a 3",
| 480 x 272 pixel touchscreen, single button at the bottom of the device,
| support for multiple types of media (including Adobe's Flash), support for
| music subscriptions through Real's Rhapsody service, two megapixel camera and
| will likely incorporate four gigabytes of flash memory.

This is great. Where are all the Windows appliances anyway? Linux is becoming
de facto! Looking ahead, what company would choose a 6+-year-old XP or a
broken Vista that nobody wants and nothing short of a 'supercomputer' will
actually tolerate?

| It sure looks like an iPhone, but the real interesting thing about this
| Chinese rip-off is the OS it appears to be running. Check out the bottom

China's iClone

| The little gadget was bootleg gold, a secret treasure I'd spent months
| tracking down. The miniOne looked just like Apple's iPhone, down to the slick
| no-button interface. But it was more. It ran popular mobile software that the
| iPhone wouldn't. It worked with nearly every worldwide cellphone carrier, not
| just AT&T, and not only in the U.S. It promised to cost half as much as the
| iPhone and be available to 10 times as many consumers.
