If imitation is the best form of flattery, then Apple's ego should be pretty inflated by now.
We all know the Chinese can get rather, erm, ignorant about legal cloning issues and the Meizu's miniOne M8 takes the cake for being an
iPhone wannabe. Whether the Cupertino lawyers are going to take this one down is another story. Blogger Rick Martin gives his take on the miniOne M8 in his
recent post. What we really like is the purported lower pricing. It's approximately US$263 and US$328 for the 4GB and 8GB models, respectively. And the best part? It's not tied to a darn operator.

Patriots alert, this one is for you. Samsung's launching a limited-edition 3G handset pre-loaded with this year's National Day theme song.
Available at all M1 shops and exclusive distributors from July 14, the limited-edition (though we're not sure exactly how many pieces there are)
SGH-Z240 will come decked with a National Day faceplate, a theme songring tone and a certificate of authenticity. Pricing details were unavailable at the time of writing.
The island-state is celebrating its 42nd birthday on August 9 at Marina Bay for the first time after moving out of the National Stadium. Click
