A few months ago we were talking about a number of iPhone clones coming into the Asia. One of the clones was Meizu, and now it’s out in China and it’s call Hua Long IP2000.
Not only it shares the general look and feel of an iPhone and the most daring part of this Meizu’s clone is it comes with a large image of apple behind. Specification wise, it’s got a 3.5 inch display, both MP3 and MPEG 4 playback and even a 2 megapixel camera.
It costs you only $140 for the Hua Long IP2000, almost half price of the original. For those in Asia, now you don’t have to wait another year more, which you can straight away get a “preview” of iPhone.
Of course,if you’re the real fan of Apple, then just wait till the real apple comes instead of wasting your $140.00 for the intellectual property thief. In China, there isn’t any copyright laws that can protect your pattern from copycats. So, what can Apple do for this? Lets keep an eye of it!

Obviously, its keypad is located at bottom of the screen, where there are some strange buttons on the sides for navigation. It is actually a touch-screen candybar. Its display is a magnificent 3″ QVGA TFT. [...]
