Hot iPhone News

posted in gadgets, by Codrut Nistor

Did you get some iPhone or iPod Touch for Christmas? I hope you got a genuine Apple product, if your answer is positive! While iPhone and iPod clones are more likely to be encountered than Mac clones, they are also trying to copy the design of the original, first of all, while the computers able to run Mac OS X are more about the works, than the looks. Anyway, today we'll leave those Mac clones aside, since there's some new iPhone news just around the corner!

Looking at what we have here, the first thing to point out is the availability in nearly 2,500 Wal-mart stores of the Apple 8GB iPhone, for $197, and the 16GB one, for $297, both with a new two-year service agreement from AT&T - or a qualified upgrade, of course.

"We are delighted to bring customers this ground-breaking mobile technology. Our electronics associates have been preparing for many weeks for the arrival of iPhone 3G. We are excited to now help new customers learn more about the features and services that make the iPhone unique,"said Gary Severson, senior vice president, Entertainment, Walmart.

Next, we have the iPhone Nanos spotted in Thailand by some AppleInsider reader. Unfortunately, we're talking about fakes, but they are "designed to mimic Apple's products as closely as possible and share not only the basic design but the branding as well, in some cases directly copying the logo and the "iPhone" labeling on the back."

Needless to say that the software is also a clone of the one available with Apple's original iPhone and iPod Touch, so if you're into cheap clones, you can get an iPhone Nano already, although I wouldn't advise you to do that...
