Japan’s iPhone Killer – What?

Yes, iPhone fever is everywhere, and probably will be around for some time to come. One thing for certain is that there will be no shortage of Asian knock-offs, hoping to capitalise on the success of the gadget. This latest contender comes from Sophia Mobile, with the touchscreen-enabled Nani (literally, “What?” in Japanese) . It boasts a “4.3-inch touchscreen, video playback at 800 x 400 pixels, a MicroSD card slot, Wi-Fi capability, a camera and a TV tuner”. Mobile TV sounds particularly juicy – it would be a great way to catch up on news and shows while commuting.

You never know – it could be the next iPhone killer, or maybe it could be just a stopgap for those outside the US still waiting to get their hands on an iPhone.
