One Indian Carrier Is So Desperate For iPhone Customers They’re Advertising An iPhone 4 Running Android

One Indian Carrier Is So Desperate For iPhone Customers They’re Advertising An iPhone 4 Running Android

Even in India, carriers without Apple deals in place are going to desperate lengths to sell their inferior Android handsets as equivalent to the iPhone… even going so far as to advertise this weird iPhoneDroid rip-off, which boasts the design of the iPhone 4 and Android 2.3 Gingerbread as the operating system.

Pretty funny. We’re not sure if this is an actual handset or just exists in the mind of some underpaid New Delhi ad agency photoshopper, but either way, it’s pretty brazen… especially since it’s running in India’s largest newspaper, the Times of India.

Thanks for the pics, Ruchir!
