If you remember the knockoff Kinect that we previously talked about, and you would know about “Ebox”. The producer of Ebox planned to roll out the console in China during past November, however they failed to meet their expectation and eventually postponed until sometimes in this year. Today, we had our first glance at an Ebox’s game, named “Flyimal”. Enjoy after the jump.
It is interesting to see classic tech products, and today the knockoff makers bring back the old skool with a Lenovo ThinkPad X200 knockoff. Seriously, do you still remember the ThinkPad X200?

Well, looks like someone has said NO to Chinese manufacturers. India has refused to import telecommunications equipment from Chinese companies, a “blacklist” has recently released, big names like Lenovo, Huawei and ZTE are all inside the list, making up a total of 25 companies to be banned from India.
