Chinese Knockoffs Put iPhone and iPod Features in Your Hand for a Fraction of the Cost

No doubt Apple's Iphone and Ipods are on the top of most wish lists - both for adults and kids. The products are undoubtedly innovative, advanced, popular and expensive.

Like any new technology (think cell phones and DVDs), the price of these sought after Apple products will eventually come down, but that could take years. Many consumers would like to try and enjoy the Iphone and Ipod's features and technology without waiting for Apple to reduce iprices and without being forced to use Iphone's expensive AT&T provider plan, or being forced to pay $1 a per song download from Itunes.

Enter Chinese Iclones - Ipod and Iphone knock offs. China has progressed from making the US' cheap, throw away goods to creating today's viable alternatives to our most coveted technological brands. If you've not yet seen the Ipod / Iphone knockoffs and assume that they are cheap and chintzy, you might be in for a surprise.

If you have a look at the videos floating around on Utube, you'll see that these Chinese knockoffs give the real products a run for their money at ¼ of the icosts. More, Iclones allow you to use your own cell phone and music download carriers - saving you tons of money on both the initial purchase and the monthly charges.

Chinese Iphone: The "Iclone" CECT P168: The most popular of the Iclones - the CECT P168 - in fact looks so much like the Iphone you literally have to squint and turn your head sideways to see a true difference.

It even has the same wallpaper. The CECT P168 has all of the features we love in the Iphone: - the flat, touch screen; bluetooth; the ability to browse the net; watch movies and video; and listen to music, but the CEPT P168 also boasts things the Iphone doesn't have. The CECT P168 allows you to use whatever participating cell phone carrier you wish (most all U.S. carriers) and it features two Sim slots - so you no longer need to carry two phones (one for business - one for surfing).

The Iclone also has more speakers than the Iphone - 6 - and it has a removable battery, which many feel is the major shortcoming of the Iphone. On a good day, The CECT P168 can be had for around $100-$130 - brand new, with warranty, on eBay.
