Here’s some more iClones/iPodclones to check out. None with all the features of the iPhone of course, but if you can’t afford or don’t want the real thing………………………………..
This first one is from geeks.com (i’ve shopped there before, they’re reliable). It’s basically a media player with voice recorder and a miniSD slot. Nothing special. Might keep that begging kid happy though ! Here it is….
Next up is the CECT P168+, which supposedly has quadband, but i’ve read a lot of sellers are pawning off Tri-Band versions as Quad band, so research this before you buy. Looks like a half-decent substitute for an iPhone and the price is definitely right. It doesn’t have wireless internet which would put me off straight away. But, one cool feature it does have is dual SIM card slots, so you could have two phone numbers going at the same time on one phone (good for those who maybe carry a work phone and personal phone). Here’s one on ebay.
And heres a little more info on the meizu m8 minione that i posted about previously.
………………..and what’s with Apple not selling a Black iPhone . I mean, seeing as i spent enough on the iPhone, i would definitely have spent an extra $50 or so on a black one like that dude’s.
Aw shite, i think i said “iPhone” enough times to attract a bunch of Apple worshippers again .

I’m a little late on this. But from what i’ve read and seen in photos, it looks like the Irish Blog Awards ‘08 were a great success, and seems a grand time was had by all. Well done to Mulley for all his efforts.
Big congrats to The Limerick Blogger too, for joint winner of Best News/Current Affairs Blog along with Maman Poulet

Oh, and if you can’t or don’t want to spring for an iPhone, (judging by reaction to my post on my iPhone you may be put off, as i was, and am, by the Apple snobbery that is out there) you could hold out for one of these.

Due to be released sometime later this year, definitely worth keeping an eye on developments with the meizu M8 minione.

In a Tom Waits kinda mood this morning, so here’s my two picks from his 1999 Album “Mule Variations”
The first is my favorite “Hold on”, and the second is just a great singalong “cold water”
