| Sony Ericsson C702 in a New, Unofficial Version |  | High-end mobile devices are not the only ones that get to be cloned – mid-end handsets can benefit from the same treatment and the latest example is ... [read more >>] | | 10 July 2008, 11:05GMT | (c) 2008 Softpedia |
| Samsung U900 Soul Got Cloned Too |  | Unlike Nokia or Apple, Samsung is not a brand that had the honor of inspiring too many Chinese manufacturers into copying its mobile devices.

| A Nokia Aeon Wannabe |  | Nokia's Aeon phone was presented almost two years ago, in the fall of 2006, as one of the best looking concepts to come from the Finnish company. Since then, we have not heard new things about it, thus we can't know whether Nokia is indeed working to transform the Aeon into a real device or this remains only a concept.
But in case you want a handset that somehow looks like the Aeon, we've spotted one on the W ... [read more >>] | | 05 July 2008, 04:31GMT | (c) 2008 Softpedia |

| O2 XDA Vista - Impressively Illegal |  | If, for some odd reasons, you have always dreamed of having a Vista Pocket PC, your dream can now finally come true, thanks to a new mobile device named O2 XDA Vista.

| Nokia N95, the Mini Edition |  | Nokia N95 clones are nothing unusual to see. However, one of the latest N95-wannabe devices is something really special. Not due to its features, but because it's a mini version of the popular Nseries smartphone. It's a Nokia N95 that people with small hands will probably find ...

| The Ultimate Nokia N96 Clone |  | Nokia's phones are probably the "most cloned" ones from all the mobile devices ever released on the market. And since cloning a handset can be done even before the real and official device gets to be released, the N96 Nseries flagship, which should hit the mark ...

| SCNY 5 Megapixel Cell Phone Takes on Sony Ericsson |  | If you ever wanted a 5 Megapixel mobile phone named SCNY, now you might have the chance to own one, as some Chinese producer thought of manufacturing a bunch of handsets under this name.
Well, SCNY obviously brings to mind the SONY brand and since this new device is a phone that offers a 5 Megapixel camera, like some of Sony Ericsson's handsets, it's clear that we're talking about a product that wants to steal ... [read more >>] | | 07 May 2008, 06:36GMT | (c) 2008 Softpedia |

| New N95 That's Not a N95 |  | Ever wanted a N95 so un-evolved that it can't even be used as a mobile phone? No? Me neither. Still, there is a new device that bears the Nseries handset's name.

| How About a Windows Mobile Unlocked iPhone? |  | iPhone clones are not uncommon, especially those produced in China, which look almost exactly like Apple's handset but have inferior quality, inferior features and, obviously, cheaper prices. Probably the most expensive iPhone wannabe handset up to date is the new DaXian X999, a device that can be bought for $369 (250 Euros).
What's interesting about this handset is that it combines ... [read more >>] | | 21 February 2008, 10:46GMT | (c) 2008 Softpedia |

| First Human Embryo Clones Ever! |  | A cloned Scarlet Johanson may be the dream of any man and a Californian company has just made the first step toward this purpose: for the first time, scientists have achieved cloned human embryos using DNA extracted from adult skin cells, as reported in the Stem Cells journal.
"That's an important first step toward generating embryonic stem (ES) cell lines from such embryos, which can be used to study and treat diseases such ... [read more >>] | | 18 January 2008, 04:14GMT | (c) 2008 Softpedia |
| Scientists Achieve Embryonic Stem Cells from the Skin! |  | In the end, there may be no need to kill human embryos for getting stem cells, as two teams have achieved embryonic stem cells from human skin cells. The newly induced pluripotent cells could turn into various cell types of the human organism.
"The advantage of using [such] reprogrammed skin cells is that any cells developed for therapeutic purposes can be customized to the patient. They are probably more clinically relevant than ... [read more >>] | | 21 November 2007, 02:48GMT | (c) 2008 Softpedia |
| First Cloned Monkeys! Humans...When? |  | The 2004 South Korean claim regarding human cloning proved false. Meanwhile, a team at the Oregon National Primate Research Center in Portland could have achieved the cloning of monkey embryos and the extraction of stem cells from them, a huge step towards human cloning.
The research could be published soon in the scientific journal Nature and could give much hope for patients waiting for a transplant tissue. Stem cells achie ... [read more >>] | | 14 November 2007, 05:00GMT | (c) 2008 Softpedia |
| World's Largest Trees to be Saved through Cloning |  | Sequoia (redwoods) are the largest trees in the world and at the same time amongst the most long-lived ones, having a long lifespan (of millennia).
A specimen of coast redwood tree (Sequoia sempervirens) found in 2006 in a remote forest in Redwood National Park (Northern California) proved to be the world’s tallest tree. Called Hyperion, the tree was 379.1 ft (126.4 m) tall. Such giants survive today only in National Parks, o ... [read more >>] | | 05 November 2007, 04:59GMT | (c) 2008 Softpedia |
| Sex: What For? |  | In most other animal species, mating is not by far as pleasant as it is for humans. In our case, the sexual and reproductive behaviors are distinct, as sex has rather the role of bonding and forming social connections.
But in some animal species, the male is ‘dying’ to have sex…literally! In praying mantis (Mantis religiosa), soon after mating or during mating, the female starts devouring its partner, head first! The Pacific salmons ma ... [read more >>] | | 11 October 2007, 04:57GMT | (c) 2008 Softpedia |
| Chinese Cloner Caught! |  | This is the story of Liao Peigui from Danzhou city, China. This guy was no average Joe – he had a lot of brains, as he was a computer engineer at only 20 years old! The sad part about all this is the fact that instead of using his great mind for a good purpose, he used it to scam people with a clone site. This is certainly not the first nor the last time when I write about a smart computer geek going outlaw!
What this guy did ... [read more >>] | | 08 October 2007, 03:37GMT | (c) 2008 Softpedia |
| Love Feng, the Chinese iPhone Clone |  | The iPhone concept sounded so great to the Chinese that they wished they had thought of it before. No time to waste, they put some hard work into it and finally brought the Love Feng Mobile Phone, a 'xerox copy' of iPhone, or so they wish it to be.
We have heard about "iPhone killers", but less about "iPhone ... [read more >>] | | 31 July 2007, 04:23GMT | (c) 2008 Softpedia |
| The First "Fibroblast" Cloned Rabbit |  | As if rabbits reproducing like mad (from one female you can get 60 rabbits with all her descendants) weren't enough, China has now succeeded in producing the world’s first cloned rabbit by employing a technology that takes cells from a fetus.
"The female rabbit, which weighed 60 grams at birth in February, was now growing normally at an animal center in Shanghai," the China Daily said.
Since the first clone ... [read more >>] | | 27 July 2007, 03:32GMT | (c) 2008 Softpedia |
| Cloned Pigs Are Demented |  | After the mad cow, why not the demented pig? This is what Danish researchers at Institute of Human Genetics, Aarhus University, and University of Copenhagen, led by Associate Professor Arne Lund Jorgensen, are going to produce: the first pigs containing genes that trigger the Alzheimer’s disease. The first cloned piglets will be born in August.
The Alzheimer linked gene was inserted into the somatic cells. The nuclei of these ... [read more >>] | | 06 July 2007, 06:33GMT | (c) 2008 Softpedia |
| Scientists Have Obtained Fertile Cloned Sperm! |  | If a clone organism has 100 % of the genes of an organism, 50 % should not be that difficult to obtain. 50 % of an organism's genes are found exactly in the sperm or eggs. Now American researchers have figured out how to clone sperm, in order to restore fertility in men with very low sperm counts.
By inserting the nucleus of a single healthy mouse sperm into a mouse egg from which the DNA had been removed, researchers at ... [read more >>] | | 04 July 2007, 11:56GMT | (c) 2008 Softpedia |
