    After so many posts... For shame, all of you Apple fanboys, for not noticing that the Apple logo is upside-down.

    I'm sorry but am I the only one here that actually likes the design? Granted it's a bit dated however I think this would have fit with Apple's lineup in the early 21st century.

    Do the Chinese actually use all these rip-offs? Do they not have access to the original technology, or something? Are they even aware of a rip-off when they see one? Do they care?

    These just boggle my mind whenever I see them. #hipodphone

    @Anunnaki: Yes. NYTimes ran a story on it and the market of knockoffs in China.

    "One-fifth the price, but the same function and look" really hits home with all the knockoffs.

    One person wanted iPhone, but it's over $500 (too out-of-their-range), so the knockoff fit them quite well at a price of a little over $100.

    [www.nytimes.com]

    So yes, they apparently do. #hipodphone

    Actually, if they could come out with something like the Samsung Upstage, but without the MP3 player side, I'd totally buy it.

    EDIT: Also, someone SHOULD buy this... then send it to Ashens for review on the ever-so-famous couch.

    Shady? How dare you insult such a reputable website in such a manner.

    China Grabber has been providing the gadget community with genuine, honestly top quality goods since I can remember.

    Thank you for recommending this particular gadget, I will order this at the same time as my "PXP-2000" and my "HiPhone" #hipodphone

    I wish products like this were easily available in the United States. I have always wanted to have gifts like this ready for fat people who have not bathed since the cretaceous period who sit next to me on six hour plane flights. Those are my favorite times, and this would be an engaging conversation piece. #hipodphone

    The $85 can be used to buy ice cream after the bad news.

    Is it legal???

    i think the mac OS agreement says that it should be installed on apple hardware only.

    @louisville1987: Legal? LEGAL? Shiver me timbers - show louisville1987 the plank, boys.


    Apple would say "fuck no" to answer your question, by the way. Or, at least I think that is what they would say.

    @louisville1987: short answer: no.

    longer answer: you're right, the EULA does say that. however, breaking a EULA is only breaking a license agreement, not the law.


    however, all-in-one installers like the kalyway dvd (ideneb, etc...) are illegal, because they contain a modified version of the original leopard install disc.


    a legal (and less buggy) solution would be to purchase the efix dongle. while it's a bit pricy, it's a legal alternative, since it allows you to install leopard from an unmodified apple dvd.


    hopefully this answers your question :)
