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.

Desay M888
iPhone clones are rushed to market by both small underground manufacturers and large established companies. A good example of the latter is Desay, based in Guangdong, China, which sells various electronics products (audio/video, telephones, batteries, and so on) to the Chinese, North American, European, and Southeast Asian markets. For a company like Desay, which has a consumer electronics manufacturing infrastructure in place, tapping into worldwide interest in the iPhone must be a tempting proposition. The M888 has a TV composite A/V output, supports 4GB micro-SD memory cards, and includes a two-band wireless radio.
