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.

Hiphone
Same idea, different manufacturer: This iPhone remake, called the Hiphone, showed up in a search of Chinese reseller sites. Like the Desay M888, the Hiphone looks almost identical to the iPhone. In fact, online reseller M8COOL provides a convenient lineup of iPhone copies. You'll notice that the product names are clear enough, but nowhere in the listing or on the phone itself does the manufacturer's name appear. Some of the phones even include a cheeky production note: "Designed in California, Assembled in China."
