Attack of the iPhonies
Since the beginning of the iBoom, overseas (and some domestic) manufacturers have been quick to cash in on Apple's design prowess. These 10 iPod and iPhone clones show that imitation can be the quickest way to gadget sales.

Deeda Pi
iPhone mimics don't always come from abroad. Chicago-based company Deeda has released a 3G product called the Pi that closely resembles an iPhone. Deeda says the Pi has a camera on the front and the back; supports 3G wireless, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi; and has a 3.6-inch screen. Actually, the Pi is part of a three-product series. The other two products, the Kuku and the Menx, appear to be variations of the Pi and show some of the same Apple design themes. The preceding information was taken from Deeda's Web site; whether so much as a prototype of the Pi or its siblings exists is another matter.
