Attack of the iClones: OPhone vs. iPhone

By Rene Ritchie
last updated

Android Central (via Gizmodo) brings us the latest in a long -- long -- line of... er... iPhone inspired smartphones. This one, however, will be running the Google mobile OS:

The OPhone is 1mm bigger than the original iPhone, has a dedicated camera button, 5MP camera, flash, microSD slot and 3.5mm headphone jack. Yeah. Sounds pretty flippin’ sweet to us too.

TiPb will reserve judgement until it launches, but it will be interesting to see Android on hardware other than the slider-trackball-touch G1. Won't it?
