| Filed under: Portable Audio, Portable VideoPoetic justice at its finest. Meizu, which has received loads of criticism for knocking off Apple's iPhone with the forthcoming M8, is now facing turned tables thanks to Shenzhen Gold-East Electronic Company.

| Filed under: Home EntertainmentBlue Raven has introduced the Maestro 1070, an iPhone and iPod hi-fi docking station, with 70 watts powering a 5" center sub and two 3" satellites. Looking suspiciously like the official iPod Hi-Fi -- but with handles on the side, not the top!! -- the universal dock accepts and charges Apple's hardware, and also has |

| Filed under: Gaming Most people pop across the border for a good time. Engadget editors interpret that good time as a chance to check out rip offs like this $28 "X-Game 360." No bonus points here for spotting the inspiration behind this KIRF. All we wanna know is, what're the chances it comes with HDMI? Read Permalink Email this |

| Filed under: Gaming, Portable Audio, Portable Video You can never have too many name-brand duping, cheap looking Chinese sweatshop produced PMPs laying around, can you? I mean sure, we've seen little guys that boost the Gameboy Micro before, such as this number from way back in 2006, but this new entry does it with so much flair and unabashed |

| Filed under: Portable Audio, Portable Video There's blatant knockoffs, and then there's blatant knockoffs. As you can probably tell, this is most certainly a case of the latter, as the so-called creators of the MA-727 didn't even bother to take their own photo. Instead, it looks pretty clear that they simply doctored Samsung's own snapshot of the |

| Filed under: Portable Audio, Portable Video What's made in China, costs just $55, and looks like your favorite [insert touchscreen device here] full-screen media player? The ONDA Honey VX878, that's what. The followup to the Honey VX855, overhauls the GUI while squishing the touchscreen down to 2.4-inches and just 260k colors with up to 15 hours |

| Filed under: Cellphones The Shine may already be available in a variety of colors, but we're confident that LG had no part in this one. The so-called Venus JXD205 purports to be your average PMP, sporting AVI / MP3 / WMA / WAV support, a 2.4-inch QVGA color screen, FM tuner, built-in gaming function and an expansion slot that supports cards up to |

| certain you're rockin' the fakes. Notably, they're said to provide "massive bass" and fit in a "wide range of ears," and while we can't imagine the sound quality being up to snuff, this $3.99 set looks to be the perfect compliment to whatever knockoff DAP you'd surely pair them with.[Thanks, Brian] Read Permalink Email this |

| Keepin' it real fake, part LXXXVII: "Manhattan" mobile not a T-Mobile Dash |

| Tags: Gprs, Gsm, Keepin It Real Fake, Keepinitrealfake, Kirf, Manhattan, Sim |
| Filed under: Cellphones Although this "Manhattan" Wide Screen GSM Dual Card Mobile phone doesn't rip-off any logos, it most certainly is more than "inspired" by T-Mobile's Dash. You probably won't want to pick up this $224.99 model, unless you don't mind living without any internet access at all (it doesn't even do GPRS), but if you need a phone |

| Filed under: Portable Audio, Portable Video German publication Welt Online has the scoop on a killer KIRF: the Loomax Ii touch, which rips off the iPod Touch and sells for less than half the price. It has all the usual ingredients -- it plays music, has a touch screen, and Apple-esque icons -- but this time, Apple gives a damn. Apple spokesperson |

| Filed under: Cellphones Another unimaginative PMP for you this weekend, which happens to vaguely rip-off the design of the RAZR2. Nope, this doesn't have a phone stuck inside: it's simply a regular little PMP that features a 2-inch screen and controls that mimic the look of Motorola's flagship. It also has an FM tuner, a speaker -- hey, at least |

Sure, everyone wants to nestle up to the little critter's twinkling LEDs and soothing expression, but what about Nabaztag's pitiful, cheap, single-function cousin, the Rabbit Sensor Night Light? |

| Filed under: Cellphones Well, would you look at that. If not for the gaudy packaging, $69.99 price tag and blatant Oasis Media branding, we'd swear the Playr was a T-Mobile Shadow (or HTC's P3300, we guess). Yep, this knockoff does a fairly decent job of mirroring its inspirer, sports 2GB of storage and a miniSD expansion slot, comes with 35 free |
