… And here is the iPhone for the rest of the world!

 

Last week I saw one of house keeping guys (house keeping, helpers are quite common in India and in fact a good source of employment for those at the bottom of the pyramid) on the corridor and while exchanging pleasantries saw the new phone he has got – a 60$ iPhone. Yes! Made in our dear China.

            

One of the threats that national and international firms face in China and India is the duplication of product in the grey market often offering the same experience that the original product does; of course quality takes a beating.  But few care as long as they get to experience and show off the mock product.

It looks like this time around, they could not replicate cent percent both in design and usability. So they decided to settle for the second best.

 

They have used the white color to make it Applish. The wallpaper on the phone is  the  same as the one on the original iPhone – The clown fish wallpaper. The sticker screams iPhone and guess what? It has an apple logo! Check out the snaps!

I read an interesting article on Wall Street Journal about China and the infrastructure development for Beijing Olympics. I read it was common to find people selling a key chain with a bunch of keys. The key chain contains a car key, house keys for living and bed rooms for a car and house that exist only in ambition. A lot of construction workers by these and hang in from their jean as a prestige. Diversity in Economy.
