“The Lady iPhone” is a Chinese Knock-Off Straight Out Of Sailor Moon

“The Lady iPhone” is a Chinese Knock-Off Straight Out Of Sailor Moon

The latest in a long and veritable line of Chinese iPhone knock-offs is this button cute Leady Apple… although we think they probably meant “Lady Apple.”

As the name implies, it’s like the iPhone 4G redesigned by the Powerpuff Girls.

Obviously, don’t expect iPhone OS on this cheapie. It doesn’t even run Android. Instead, you can expect the standard features inherent in every cheap Chinese mobile, including some lame built-in games, inelegant media playback, digital camera support and an FM radio.

At the very least, though, you’ll get an ultra-reflective, glare-prone oval display… perfect for applying your make-up before the anime con.

    OMG this is cute! The shape is fun!

    If its cheap and works for at least a phone, it would be a fun little thing.

    Leady Apple, Lady Apple. LMAO. Chinamen can’t even get their Engrish right.

    Eric, 我們都要看,您的中文能力如何呢? How good is your Chinese, Eric? I bet you understood none of that. At least “Leady” and “Lady” are close.

    Funny phone! I’ve always thought Chinese knock-off phones were pretty hilarious.

    Don’t be racist here yo. You’re dumb as heck, Eric.

    Wow, this is weird. When the ipad was announced back in January I thought Apple would/should release a `companion’ phone for iPad users- perhaps pebble shaped, that wasn’t as fully featured as an iPhone but interact with the iPad. (just broad brush stroke thinking at the time). No, really I did. However I didn’t envisage it looking quite so `girly’. I still think it’s a good idea.
