Nokia has become pretty serious about touchscreen-based phones. The latest offering from them is 6208 Classic, a touchscreen display with alphanumeric keypad.

6208 will first retail in China which will be followed by other regions in the coming months. Interesting features include 2.4-inch QVGA screen, 3.2-megapixel camera with dual LED flash, Bluetooth 2.0 3.5mm AV jack and pre-installed Opera browser.

Fashioned from Nokia’s first touchscreen with a built-in keypad hybrid, the Nokia 6708, the Nokia 6208c is now official on Nokia’s Chinese web site. This handset has been confirmed to be running Nokia’s S40 software, and will feature a full alphanumeric keypad as well as a 2.4-inch touchscreen display for input.
This makes the Nokia 6208c the very first S40 Nokia handset to sport a touchscreen, though it hasn’t been specified whether it will have a capacitive or a resistive one at launch. But judging from the presence of a stylus in its retail package, I think it’s safe to say this will have resistive screen that’s tailored for use with handwriting in mind.
The Nokia 6208c will be a Tri-band EGSM 900/1800/1900 handset, with Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity and support for tethering. It also comes with a built-in 3.2-megapixel camera with 4x digital zoom and dual-LED flash. A 3.5 mm headphone jack is also present, making this an instant music player for those who find carrying a separate device to be a hassle.
It will be available in Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, India, the Middle East and North Africa, for an unspecified price. We’re guessing you’ll have to contact local retailers for that information.

Knockoffs have undoubtedly come a long way since the first one we documented. And we’re not exactly new to the existence of knock offs for products that don’t even exist yet. That’s why we’re not at all surprised to see an iPhone nano allegedly for sale in Thailand.
Silicon case manufacturer XSKN first revived the myth nearly two weeks ago, with a purported iPhone nano case posted on its web site. Then, official-looking photos started to surface, though they were mere mock-ups it was the closest we thought we could get to the real thing. But we were wrong.
Some enterprising fellow out in Thailand already offers an iPhone nano up for sale, but it’s not an Apple. The iPhone nano clones, pictured here and shown in the gallery below, bear a striking resemblance to the earlier alleged iPhone nano we uncovered last year. However, the last year’s model was designed to mimic the original iPhone, while this new one looks more fit to be called an iPhone 3G knockoff.
While the iPhone nano knockoff shown here looks like it’s got Apple’s design copied right to a certain level, this is by no means a confirmation of earlier speculation and rumors. If Apple’s going to make an iPhone nano, they should remember to announce it and make their intentions clear. Then, and only then, will this matter go to rest.

Why the heck would you drop $200 to $400 on a brand new console when you could get the same thing for a fraction of the price? Oh yeah, I neglected to mention that these alternate universe clones of the Xbox 360 and PS3 are crappy knock-offs from China - and that they only play 8-bit games.
These cheap-o fakes come courtesy of the shady sounding Rodisson Technologies Company, who only ask that you place a minimum wholesale order of 10,000 pieces if you want to get your hands on one of these 8-bit versions of popular modern-day gaming systems. Note that the Xbox 360 fake dons the “Happy 360″ moniker, presumably to help them avoid Microsoft’s lawyers - but I not sure that’s subtle enough. The PS3 clone goes by the name “Play Power 3,” which really isn’t much better.
Each 8-bit fake comes complete with old-school 9-pin joysticks and a light gun, which lead me to believe that the built-in games (all 512 of ‘em) are old Famicom or NES bootlegs. Caveat Emptor and all that.
Maybe you can finally play that game of Duck Hunt you’ve been dying to play on your 360 or PS3.

All those millions of World of Warcraft players have to eat somewhere, and an enterprising Chinese businessman hopes that at least some of them will be paying him for the privilege of refueling at his new WoW-inspired restaurant. The entrance welcomes the hungry–and the brave–into a Dark Portal much like this one:
Inside, the eatery is a love song to Blizzard’s MMORPG, with recreations of armor and other loot, and giant screens blasting in-game images while diners order food named after WoW characters. It’s a haven for anyone who can’t get enough (if, that is, you can leave the house to get there), and according to the owner, that feeling of shared fandom is exactly what he was going for with the restaurant.
Considering China’s official position on intellectual property, it’s doubtful the establishment has any sort of sanction. We should probably all be grateful the restaurants won’t be spreading all over the world.

The Android fever is surely spreading quickly, and the latest manufacturer to unveil a handset that runs on Google’s open source OS is Lenovo – yes, the China-based company mainly known for its laptops and desktop PCs.
Well, Lenovo also makes mobile phones (take P960, for example), and right now it’s working on an Android one called Ophone. We’ve heard about it before, when reports about a collaboration between Lenovo and China Mobile appeared, but there were no details on the handset’s design.
Now an image with the Ophone leaked on the Web, via Mod my Gphone, unveiling a device that looks way better than the T-Mobile G1. And I dare say it also looks better than Apple’s iPhone, although I’m sure many of you will disagree. Anyway, here’s the Ophone:
There are no details about the handset’s features, save for the fact that its Android OS is somehow modified to work with China Mobile’s TD-SCDMA technology. This being said, it’s most likely that the Ophone will only be commercialized across China, unless a GSM or a regular CDMA version of it is also build.
What’s interesting is that a British company called O’WONDER says it owns the OPHONE trademark. Even more, the trademark seems to be for a handset that will be based on Android too.
This means that, most probably, Lenovo will have to change the official name of its first Android device. But regardless of how it will dub it, the handset has lots of chances to be a huge success in China.
