The Most Shameless Apple Knockoffs - Get more Docstoc Buzz
Thanks to Jason Nazar at Docstoc, I always get tipped off on the most interesting documents uploaded to the document-sharing site. Here's one about Apple knockoffs. The description is this:
"Apple has been a mainstay in the tech industry for years, bucking the PC majority and offering inovative products. It's not surprising that other companies try to copy their ideas all the time, and not just no-name Asian manufacturers, but major players in the industry. So please enjoy this presentation featuring the most shameless Apple Knockoffs."
Here are the knockoffs:
Luxpro Super Shuffle
Samsung Instinct
Other include:
Sony Vaio N-10 Series
iMini - (which sounds like Mac Mini)
iOrgane
Nameless Shuffle clone
Psystar OpenMac
gPod
Meizu MiniOne
