Why Apple Will Probably Keep Doing Business With Foxconn After iPhone Leak Death
Whatever role iPhone builder Foxconn played in 25-year-old Sun Danyong's death after a prototype iPhone he was entrusted with went missing, they will likely not pay the highest of prices: Losing Apple's business. More » -

Perspective on the iPhone Suicide: Guy Died Over a F*&#ing PHONE
Let's step back from the iPhone leak suicide for a minute and just think about the basics of what happened. A phone was lost. A guy was tortured. A guy killed himself or something. Over a fucking phone. More » -

iPhone 2.0 Firmware Will Have Handwriting Recognition, Go to Japan and China?
A blog on the Wretch.cc network (kinda like a Chinese blogspot) has screens from the Chinese version of iPhone's 2.0 firmware, detailing the new handwriting recognition.

Microsoft's Limited Edition Xbox 360 For Chinese New Year - Because Nothing Says Chinese New Year Like Halo 3
We're not sure how well the Xbox 360 is doing in China, but Microsoft's cashing in on this whole Chinese New Year business by throwing out a limited edition Chinese New Year Xbox. The box is colored red, which Chinese people like, but includes Halo 3, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense to us. If we were designing a game to include with this box, we'd do something like Viva Pinata, which is kinda festive, or Boom Boom Rocket, which has a whole lot of fireworks. Killing aliens may be fun, but it doesn't scream welcome to the Year of the Rat. [CNET Asia] -

This other iPhone clone, however, makes no such attempt—they even plaster "Think Different" all over their ads. Check out the video after the jump, taken by geekmatica, to see what kind of tech you're getting for 1990RMB ($270), which includes the ability to shake the phone to answer it. More »
