Greatest projector / iPhone clone combo handset in the world now up for sale

Look, here's what you need to do: reach into the appropriate pocket on your personage, take out your phone, and throw it into the nearest wall. It sucks. The N70 from Lanye (or ChinaKing, or... somebody from China), which we've drooled over previously, is a candybar phone with a 2.4-inch screen, Bluetooth 2.0, and a little bit of dual-band GSM. Oh, and a built-in projector. And an interface that almost perfectly mirrors that of the iPhone with the addition of voice recording and MMS. It's awesome, and it's now available for import for a mere $345. A bargain at any price.

[Thanks, Andrew]

This thing looks like a huge brick piece of ugly crap... what are you talking about "it's awesome." Are you mental?

Yeah seriously. It's a candybar phone from back in the 90s. Also, why are you so excited about some Chinese company that has stolen Apple IP? We should be condemning these people while Apple sues them and shuts down their whole operation.

It's only dualband so don't get all excited. One day shortly however battery powered pocket projectors will be a reality. Also I couldn't really tell how far away they were in that video. I'd like to see results from 12 ft away.

This has been available in china for months and has been on ebay uk for just as long. Keep up engadget.

It's another Chinese rip-off, typical of those pirates. No respect for copyrights, intellectual property, or anything else for that matter. I wouldn't buy this piece of crap for one penny. And I believe the US media should just ignore this stuff. Giving publicity to these sleezebags just helps them continue to violate the rules they seem to ignore with impunity.

Yes - I get emails every day from companies such as this asking me to talk about their "clone" products - it is a rip-off of iPhone technology... but a cool idea for Apple (who I think could probably shift a few more units in the West)
