Windows Mobile, iPhone, Android Killers, Really!!!
Chinese are very known for breaking copy rights whatsoever and cloning any well branded product with no mercy, after Dolly cloning the first thought came to me was Chinese well be the first to clone humans -if possible- .
In technology they start to prove that they are doing good enough job in cloning the hot products (remember the iPod Nano clone, I got one from Dubai for ¼ the price of the real nano at that time).
Here is a review that encourages the readers to buy the iPod clone over the real iPod:

Hey, but Why the clones not becoming the killer of the real ones.
Well, first it was because the quality, but after lately seeing many Chinese clones that have decent quality and in most cases looks a like the real ones, that’s really hard to differentiate them.
Compare CECT P168 iphone clone (left) with the real iPhone (right)
Example: Apple iPhone (the real one) vs. Cect HiPhone (the clone)
The funny thing is one commented that “the clone is too dark” but another responded to him: “that’s the iPhone”. Irony, right!
After having a second thought I checked the Hardware specs and compared the features and guess what it turns out in many cases the clones had higher hardware specs, more features?!
So now what!!! Eureka it’s the software the OS, the apps that’s what’s missing for these clones to become the real clones killers.
One of the comments about the iPhone clone is its missing the soul of the iPhone, well its soul is the OS and the apps, so imagine if the manufacturers of the iPhone could load it with the same iPhone OS, now what you will miss is the Brand, and even for this Chinese are smart enough to make you feel better they called one of the iPhone clones: HiPhone, clever. :D
Now the surprise: the Chinese manufacturers seemed to finally realize that, and guess what? they started to license the Oses, I guess it was hard for them to take that step - licensing - (of course it’s against their culture, why license when you can copy).
But who did license their OS for them?, no not apple, maybe google Android? Well it’s already free. -Hey Chinese folks you can get that for free, go for it-, Yeah, you guessed its Microsoft it had licensed WM6.1 for them.
