Now see if you get any hits on it — (and of course) chances are, some
guy that you didn’t care about yesterday got on his computer and shared his
ideas on the [...]

A Look at One of Those Fake iPhones

As mentioned in one of our earlier posts, iPhone Knock-Offs are currently some of the more recent offspring of 3rd World mockbusting.  We recently got a chance to borrow one of these knock-offs from a friend — and from first glance?  IT’S NO IPHONE.  Aside from the name, the phone doesn’t even TRY — it [...]
