One more imaginary product

The iPhone is one of the most awaited products ever designed by Apple because it provides innovative functions that were never included into a mobile device. If you didn't know, iPhone provides a 4GB or an 8GB internal flash memory, touchscreen, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, all bundled into a 135 grams device with 115x61x11.6mm physical size. Although the company refused to offer a certain date for the big launch of the product, more and more users are trying to earn some money by tricking other users.

Today, a new case was reported by engadget, sustaining a fake iPhone is now selling on the Internet but it's obvious the product is not designed by Apple. As you can see in the picture attached to the article, the phone looks like a Sony Ericsson mobile device marked with the iPhone logo. Engadget sustained the device is valued at $150 and it contains even a Mac OSX wallpaper placed on the display.

"We've gotta hand it to them: electronics conmen are extremely confident in their belief in the ignorance of the masses. Gaze at the unbelievably poor "Ipod [sic] style Mobile Phone iPhone" rendition above, and then suck in the ?75 (around $150) pricetag. It comes complete with an iPod-esque white finish, Mac OS X wallpaper, and a strange QuickTime skin for the included media player, but the kicker has got to be the modified Apple logo -- as if the extra leaf is going to fool anyone," the same publication reported.

Also today, an eBay user tried to sell 6 imaginary iPhones, sustaining the products are offered by Apple. There were numerous bids for the product, most of the members offering more than $1000 for the fake product.
