KNOCKOFFS
WTF?
CULTURE:CHINA
Ok, so a fake Apple Store was kind of a ridiculous knockoff from China. However, there is a totally badass fake Apple store in China that gives you a perfect idea of how Apple sucks Android. Poor Apple.
What would you pay for a iMac knockoff without a quad core processor, Thunderbolt ports, wireless keyboard and a Magic Mouse? How about one that’s rocking a dual-core, 1.8GHz Intel Atom D525 processor, NVIDIA ION graphics, and an 500GB hard drive? Some Chinese manufacturer is hoping your answer is somewhere around $300, because that’s roughly what its new, 2,000 yuan ($318) iMac knockoff will cost along with 18.4-inch LED-backlit widescreen TFT display (1920 X 1080), 4GB of RAM, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, six USB 2.0 ports, and an aluminum enclosure.

Samsung’s Galaxy S III is due to launch officially on May 3rd, and for those Samsung fanboys who can’t wait to see the new Galaxy, someone in Taiwan has taken pictures of the new Galaxy phone that shows the model number GT -I9300. Check out the pictures after the break!
Police in Shanghai raided an apartment and seized 1.1 million yuan (about US$174,892) worth of goods for refurbishing iPhones. Yes, according to Chinese media Eastday, the police found an entire assembly line that was run by a 53-year-old man who employed 14 young Chinese workers to produce and sell refurbished iPhones with fake parts.
The new iPad features a huge jump in screen resolution with the Retina display, making the iPad perfect for watching 1080p video and viewing photos with incredibly high megapixel amounts. So what if you are a professional photographer or cinematographer and you would like to make full use of your new iPad? Well, along with the new all-in-one card reader, you can transfer images and videos from your CF card or SD card to the iPad. Preview them in the field, edit the photos using iPhoto, or edit the footage with iMovie. You can watch a video demo after the break.
By now, we hope you’re mighty familiar with Lenovo’s Android-powered “Smart TV” — the much anticipated HDTV that runs Ice Cream Sandwich. Today, Lenovo has just announced that its Smart TV will be available for pre-order on April 10 in China, for 6499 yuan (about $1,031). Check out photo galleries of the Smart TV after the break! And a video!
Tablets like the iPad are quickly sneaking up on laptops as the preferred device for surfing the web while traveling. But one of the biggest drawbacks to the functionality of the iPad is its lack of a real keyboard. Typing anything longer than a Facebook status or a Tweet on your iPad can seem frustrating. The Smart Keyboard for the new iPad aims to solve that problem by integrating a Bluetooth keyboard and a ultra-thin protective case in one item. Check out our hands-on after the break! And a video!
Apple CEO Tim Cook went to China earlier this week and Cook was first spotted posing with Chinese Apple fans at the Xidan Joy City retail store in Beijing. He then met with Chinese government officials, including Chinese Vice Premier Li Keqiang, to discuss intellectual-property issues. Cook was also spotted at the headquarters of China Telecom and he even toured the iPhone production facility in Zhengzhou. Today, someone managed to snap a shot on Cook at the airport in California. So, this means that Cook has completed his business trip and left China!
What the fxxk is going on? Dalian? Well apparently, Apple has started putting posters of its upcoming China flagship store in a shopping center called Parkland Mall at Dalian, a rich Chinese city with a lot of investment coming from Korea and Japan. However, due to competition in shopping centres, another shopping center called Dalian Department Store is jealous of Parkland Mall for having an Apple Store. So, the Dalian Department Store sent its security team to push down the Apple Store posters outside the Parkland Mall. For more details, check out the photos and videos after the break.
UPDATE: According to local journalists, some Apple retail managers have arrived Dalian to solve the matter. And Apple is looking forward to build the store successfully in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract. Meanwhile, both security teams are negotiating.
This above is the first glimpse of Android 4.0 running on the Meizu MX. Yes, it looks like Ice Cream Sandwich is in being ported to Meizu’s iconic handset by some technician guys, or developers? However, looking carefully, it’s not running the Flyme OS (Meizu’s heavily customized Android UI). Meizu CEO Jack Wong previously teased us the upcoming version of FlyMe OS which will be based on Android 4.0 ICS. Anyway, we certainly can’t wait to experience using Android 4.0 on the Meizu MX. Two more photos after the break!
