Chinese clone of Apple 4G iPhone is Here! (w/photos)

Chinese version of iPhone 4G has came before the actual one.

Chinese version of iPhone has been released before the real version is available. The device was sent to pconline.com.cn for test review. It is named as GPS-PHONE, and features TV antenna, mini USB interface, camera flash, and a front facing camera.

Even the interface of GPS-PHONE looks pretty similar to the leaked iPhone prototypes. The device also supports JAVA apps. So you can at least use Opera Mini or eBuddy on it.

GPS-Phone supports installation of Java apps.

Unfortunately, there are no words about the prices and release date of GPS-PHONE.

If you’re interested in the real deal, the iPhone 4G is expected to be unveiled on the 7th of June at Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) 2010 which is only two days away.

En china se adelantan y presentan un clon “decente” del iPhone 4G

GPS-PHONE
La copia barata del iPhone 4G tiene por nombre GPS-PHONE. Una vez que se enciende el móvil  podemos comprobar que el sistema operativo también ha sido objeto de copia. Por supuesto no tiene nada que ver con el original, ya que éste está desarrollado en Java y solo se asemeja en el estilo de los iconos grandes y alineados en filas y columnas de los que hace gala iPhone OS. Respecto a su hardware, han transcendido unos cuantos detalles como la cámara con flash, conector miniUSB o la integración de un sintonizador DVB-T para ver la televisión. Para su correcto funcionamiento cuenta con una antena que se retrae y se guarda en el cuero del teléfono. También incluye conexión inalámbrica WiFi, GPS e incluso una cámara frontal. Por el momento no sabemos precio de esta pieza, pero es de suponer que muy por debajo que el verdadero iPhone de Apple.

IPhone 4G/HD : pas encore sorti, déjà copié !

L’iPhone 4G/HD n’est pas encore sorti qu’il a déjà été contrefait. Le GPS-Phone, c’est le nom de cette copie, a lui aussi sa caméra en façade et son capteur numérique avec flash ainsi qu’une batterie amovible (toutes choses que l’iPhone 4G/HD doit gagner), mais il dispose d’un port mini-USB, d’un slot micro-SD, et d’une jolie antenne pour la TV.

Клонофон GPS-PHONE – iPhone 4G еще не анонсирован, но уже скопирован

Китайский клон получил название GPS-PHONE, у него имеется фронтальная камера, выдвижная телескопическая ТВ-антенна, mini USB порт и 3,5 мм аудиоразъем. Судя по фотографиям, на задней стороне корпуса GPS-PHONE имеется камера со вспышкой, а его название говорит о поддержке GPS навигации. Также у этой модели имеется аккумулятор емкостью 1200 мАч и слот для карт памяти формата microSD. Интерфейс GPS-PHONE тоже напоминает iPhone OS, только он выполнен на основе Java приложений.

I Kina sælger de 4G-iPhone

Du behøver ikke hænge ud i barer, hvor berusede Apple-ansatte taber deres mobiler, for at få fat i en ny 4G-iPhone. Nu kan du købe den i Kina. Den kinesiske 4G iPhone-klon kaldes “GPS-Phone” og virker absolut ikke på det kommende 4G-net. Ifølge pconline.com.cn har den kamera med blitz, tv-antenne (!), mini-USB-stik og en iPhone-lignende brugerflade.

苹果再爆遗失门?山寨iPhone 4G手机评测

距离6月7日苹果正式发布4G的日期越来越近了，估计现在全世界的“果粉”都在期盼着能够早点看到这款手机的真容。在不久前苹果因遗失了两部工 程机而成为媒体报道的中心，虽然不知真假，但也足以吊起全球爱好者的胃口。报道中称苹果一共遗失了三部iPhone 四代工程机，前两款已经有了下落，而第三款则一直不见踪影……

山寨苹果 iPhone 4G手机 - 原来它还挺上镜

今天我们评测室来了一位不速之客，它拥有和遗失的iPhone 4G一样的外观造型，但是可以肯定的是，它是来自山寨之乡深圳的高仿手机，它真正的名字叫做GPS-PHONE。尽管参考意义不大，但是惊叹于深圳速度我 们还是来一睹它的风采吧。

主要卖点

1、销魂的外形

iPhone 4G：你那销魂的外形让我情何以堪？

将GPS-PHONE的外形作为主要的卖点绝对是毋庸置疑的，其实这也是这部手机能够吸引人们如此围观的重要原因。如果你从远处看的话，你或许 还真的会以为我们手机频道也拿到了苹果遗失的第三部iPhone 4G。

2、拉风的天线

拉风的天线像一根竖起的指头：来吧！iPhone 4G，我要秒杀你！

或许乔布斯没有想到在iPhone 4G上面加一个可以自由收缩的天线，可是深圳的寨主门就想到了，方块状的机身加上这么一根拉风的天线，完全是画蛇添足，不过不可否认，iPhone 4G如果真有这么一根天线，那即便是寨，也是非常拉风的寨。

3、匠心独具的可拆卸式背盖

原来GPS-PHONE的背盖还真的是可拆卸的

可更换后背电池是苹果的工程师想都不敢想的事情，而这样的奇迹竟然发生在GPS-PHONE上面。对于那些经常出差的人来说，就特别适合买这款 GPS-PHONE，因为其可以很方便的更换电池，或许，这是GPS-PHONE唯一可以“秒杀i”Phone 4G的地方。

外观造型

GPS-PHONE的副摄像头和听筒

现在映入我们眼帘的正是传说中的大号GPS-PHONE，跟所泄露出的两款iPhone 4G手机相比真的是非常相似，这足以看出这款手机的厂家真的是下了很多的功夫。GPS-PHONE的机身正面跟所泄露的那两部iPhone 4G基本一样，在触摸屏上方有一个前置摄像头，前置摄像头旁边的扬声器出口也是用金属网膜覆盖的。

正是这个经典的圆形物理按键让GPS-PHONE增色不少

当然，要打造形似iPhone 4G的手机当然不能少了那颗凹陷下去的圆形物理按键，而正是这颗经典的物理按键为这部GPS-PHONE增色了不少。此外，GPS-PHONE还在 iPhone 4G的基础上进行了一定的创新，它在圆形物理按键的右下方专门打了一个小孔，这既增强了语音通话效果，又保持了GPS-PHONE整体的美观，可谓是独具 匠心。

GPS-PHONE特意将可自由收缩的天线放在机身下面

再来看看GPS-PHONE的侧面，它秉承了iPhone 4G采用金属边框的传统，只不过它的金属边框更显靓丽。在机身的底部，我们居然发现了挂绳孔和CMMB数字电视的天线，这绝对又是一个革命性的突破，要知 道这在iPhone手机上是绝对见不到的。其恰到好处的天线完全迎合了当前移动电视的潮流，GPS-PHONE设计者的超前思维令人折服。而在挂绳孔和天 线之间的一个圆形小孔就是GPS-PHONE的充电接口，这也是跟iPhone 4G不一样的地方。

GPS-PHONE：走自己的路，让3.5mm耳机接口见鬼去

机身的顶部继承了iPhone简洁的风格，它在上面只设计了一颗开关机键，只是比iPhone 4G少了一个3.5mm的耳机接口。

机身右侧是音量调节键和静音键

GPS-PHONE的左侧仅有一个Mini USB接口

不知道是不是设计者的失误还是其它什么原因，GPS-PHONE将分离式的圆形音量调节键及静音键设计在了机身的右侧下方，而iPhone 4G则是在机身的左侧上方，难道这是为了符合我们中国人的使用习惯还是这就是中国特色？而在GPS-PHONE的机身左侧也只有一个Mini USB接口，在这里看不到Mini SIM卡的卡槽。难道这部手机就不用插卡吗？不是的，谜底将在下面揭晓。

GPS-PHONE：独创的四孔音量增大技术让你的音乐更大声

是背盖上“GPS-PHONE”的字眼出卖了这部神机

再看看GPS-PHONE的机身背部，除了在左上角有跟iPhone 4G一样的主摄像头和闪光灯外，我们居然还发现了四个小孔，这其实就是扬声器的出口，也是为了增大外放音量而设计的。而正是接下来出现的经过特殊设计的 “GPS-PHONE”字眼出卖了这部手机，它真的不是iPhone 4G，它就是它：GPS-PHONE。此外，在其名字下方罗列的是它的部分功能，我们可以看到它支持GPS、WiFi、数字电视、Java程序、Mp3和 Mp4功能。

其实，真正能够显示这部手机强大工业设计水平的就是接下来的这个步骤——GPS-PHONE的电池后盖居然是可以拆开的，这在iPhone上是 连想都不敢想的事情。其实这也是GPS-PHONE不用在侧边设计Mini SIM卡插槽的原因，因为可以将卡槽设计在电池仓内，而且完全不需要特殊的Mini SIM卡。

GPS-PHONE配备了一颗1200mAh的电池

除此之外，我们还可以看到一块1200mAh的电池及Micro SD卡卡槽，虽然只有区区的1200mAh，但是只要电池是可更换的，那么就不用担心手机的续航时间了。在这方面，GPS-PHONE完全超越了 iPhone 4G，甚至说秒杀iPhone 4G一点也不为过。

操作体验

GPS-PHONE的主屏界面

强悍的工业设计水平不仅仅体现在硬件设计上，系统上的仿真设计也是体现水平的一个重要方面。GPS-PHONE OS采用了跟iPhone OS 同样风格的界面设计，只是在此基础上还进行了一些改进，这也是为了让那些改投了GPS-PHONE的iPhone用户更快适应的这部手机，这也是厂商用心 良苦的地方。

强大的GPS-PHONE屏幕特效

语言选项中有十几个国际语种

在操作这部GPS-PHONE的过程中，能够明显感受到设计者的国际视野。不仅是因为手机的初始语言是英语，更令人震惊的是，它在系统设置 “Laguage”（语言）那个选项中，居然还有西班牙语、意大利语等十多个国际语种，这足以看出GPS-PHONE想为全世界人民服务的决心。

在信号弱的情况下根本搜不到台

搜索区域中的选项比较有意思

同时，为了进一步了解GPS-PHONE这部传奇手机，我以膜拜者的心态体验了这独具特色的CMMB数字电视，这也算是不辜负那个高高翘起小尾 巴。而在体验的过程中，我再一次震惊了，它在“Search Area”（搜索区域）那个选项中居然还有中国深圳、中国香港、中国台湾、美国等国家和地区。看来GPS-PHONE不仅仅有国际视野，更重要的是它还具 备了一个火红的中国心，是一部纯正的爱国手机。

GPS-PHONE还内置了麻将游戏

支持安装Java程序 内置了音乐播放软件

除了能够接受数字电视外，收发短信、通话、拍摄、导航、娱乐等功能也是一应俱全。对于想更深入了解这部GPS-PHONE神机的人来说，这个时 候就可以下手了。

评测总结

GPS-PHONE优缺点总结

1、销魂的外形

2、拉风的天线

3、匠心独具的可拆卸式背盖

1、在屏幕显示效果上仍有待改进

2、缺少对3.5mm耳机接口的支持

经过上述对GPS-PHONE的评测之后，不知道大家对那些厂商的专业山寨精神是否有了更深的领悟？看来这还需要大家进行反复的琢磨，本人在这 里就不再明说了，你们懂的。

Google vs. Baidu: Faceoff in China!

Google vs Baidu, Who will win China?

Google (GOOG), she says, lost share in China, dropping to 17% in the third quarter, from about 19% in the second quarter.

Google chief executive Eric Schmidt (L) and ex-President of Google China Kai-Fu Lee

Lee scurried to set up an office for his incubator, raise a fund and assemble a team from thousands of job seekers. Lee’s PR reps in China and the Valley hyped his new project as his fulfillment of a dream to coach young Chinese entrepreneurs and support their best start-up ideas.

DangDang - Amazon of China!

It shouldn’t be all that surprising to see a big American brand being one-upped by a local competitor. Indeed, the story of a home-grown Chinese start-up triumphing over an iconic Internet rival is by now a familiar theme.

Just like Chinese search engine Baidu trumped Google, online bookseller Dangdang (当当网) outsmarted Amazon in China (卓越亚马逊) with better merchandising skills while Alibaba-owned Chinese auction site Taobao (淘宝网) took the lead from eBay by giving sellers a free listing of their goods and charging only for premium accounts.

Taobao, eBay of China!

What helped was being on site to respond to China’s fast-moving marketplace rather than in a faraway office on the other side of the Pacific.

And Baidu is trying to extend its search dominance on mobile phones, an area where Google has done well in China, thanks to a search deal with China Mobile, the nation’s largest carrier. In October Baidu announced a deal to provide mobile search to customers of China Unicom‘s (CHU) 3G services, and it also is testing a mobile app that features Baidu’s some most popular online tools, including a message board service. China Unicom—the country’s second largest mobile carrier—signed a three-year deal with Apple this summer to bring the iPhone to China.

Baidu to Provide Wireless Search for China Unicom's 3G Subscribers

Tech analaysts in China have said Google has done a good job understanding the nuances of the Chinese language. (Google hasn’t fared as well in Russia, where rival Yandex dominates thanks, in part, to its ability to accommodate the peculiarities of the Russian language.) Some users also say Google delivers a better search experience: Baidu had been criticized for mixing ads and organic search results on the same confusing page.

Baidu benefits from incumbent status (it formed in 2000, while Google China didn’t get going until 2006 –after Google sold a modest share in Baidu) and, its executives say, a set of tools that help Chinese users get information – not just search results. A tool called Baidu Post Bar it a bit like a social-networking application that allows users to tap other folks online for advice or comments as they are searching for, say, the best appliance to buy.

But no one, least of all Baidu executives, assumes Google is content with its position in China today. “We don’t underestimate their technology or their ability,” says Baidu CFO Li.

And while Baidu, for now, seems content to focus on search (CEO Robin Li likes to point out that the company’s other services – maps, mail, Baidu Post – all help enhance the search experience) Google’s ambitions in China go well beyond traditional online advertising and search. The company is widely believed to be looking for multiple ways to introduce its Android mobile operating platform in China, and recent reports suggest it may look to open an Android application marketplace in China.

Google to Launch Chinese Android Market?

For now, though, Google must live with its second-banana status in China. According to various Chinese news outlets, Google China issued a news release listing the most popular searches in China in 2008. The most searched term among Google users in mainland China? Baidu.

“Baidu” tops most searched terms on Google China
Baidu tops the most searched terms on google in China, according to a report-”Hottest Words by Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan 2009″ -Google China released Wednesday. Among stocks, Vanke A share, China Unicom and Ping An of China were the most searched for. Shanghai Composite Index, fund, exchange rate Growth Enterprise Board, and paper gold were among the top economic search terms. Google users were also curious about the prices of gold, airplane flights, steel and petrol.

Internet expert Xiewen said the report reflected Google’s generosity as well as its own flaws in China.

The report also released the most searched “economic search terms”. Shanghai Composite Index, fund, exchange rate Growth Enterprise Board, and paper gold were on the list.

In addition, it is noteworthy that Internet companies occupy the top ten “hottest searched words by mainland users” and three of them are Chinese online video sites. The emerging social website “kaixin001.com“,”xiaonei.com (now renren.com)” are also on the list, according to the report.
