It’s hip2b2

Here is an announcement via Engadget about the impending release of another iPhone clone … the Meizu miniOne. Wow. Another iPhone clone that plans to be launched in China towards the end of 2007.

This miniOne “entrance” model (which will likely be called something else once the English is cleaned up) will lack a camera and cost $195 for the 4GB model and $305 for the 8GB version. So the $285 and $400 price tags we heard about will come affixed to the 4GB and 8GB miniOne “standard” media playin’ phone. It also sports an integrated 2 megapixel camera and TD-SCDMA coupled with tri-band GSM/GPRS (no EDGE).

Of course, the initial version will not be a mobile phone but a multimedia player. Yes, it will just be an iPod Video (that looks like an iPhone) clone. Then later a standard version will be out with the GSM and TD-SCDMA (3G technology used in China) support. Of course, it won’t have Apple’s Coolness Factor. Do I smell a fresh lawsuit coming along?
