Asus may’ve been playing coy by not bringing the uniquely designed Eee Keyboard to the market but the Chinese cloners realize its potential, which is why they’ve got the Cross PC U510 to please the consumers. The U510 may not be as attractive as Eee Keyboard but it sure is more powerful than the original version.

The device is powered by Nvidia ION, which means it has the goods to deliver HD content and is supposedly done by connecting to a HDTV via the integrated HDMI port. Other specs include a 5-inch touchscreen display on the side, 250GB HDD, 2GB RAM and 802.11n Wi-Fi.

It sells for an equivalent of $570 in China.

“If you can’t afford it, create it” – is the mantra of the Chinese companies. Cloned mobile phones are a common sight in China but it seems they’ve been smitten with something new, which the Americans have been carrying for more than one and half years – the Kindle. WeFound is the answer to Amazon’s e-book reader that looks similar to Kindle 2 sparing the buttons on the side. It uses the same e-paper technology but will use a SIM card to download the content as compared to Amazon’s Whispersync feature.

The e-book reader will start retailing by the end of this year for $210 in China.

Chinese companies have a knack to produce clones that are not out in the market so it is not really surprising when a new clone surfaced over the weekend claiming to be the successor of highly successful 5800 XpressMusic. However, despite its worldly claims I don’t think it’s original.

Its alleged specifications:
5 megapixel camera
S60 5th Edition OS
3.5-inch screen
No 3G
Integrated kickstand

Reasons:
Since we’re seeing it as a successor, we expect it to up the ante in every department from the previous model. Though it gives the same OS, a tad larger 3.5-inch screen, upped camera and a kickstand, it does not have 3G or a front video camera, which is rather unusual. 5800XM has it.

Also, most of the Nokia phones have a Carl Zeiss camera which they mention on the back of the phone. 5800XM had it so there was no reason why it won’t be on 5900XM. However, the picture above does not mention the presence of Carl Zeiss anywhere at the back.

5800XM camera boasted flash but the purported 5900XM does not have it (picture above). Instead it resembles a speaker cover which gives an indication that there are two speakers on the sides of the camera, pretty much akin to Chinese make phones.

Finally, here’s the kicker. The pic above reveals the expansion slot of the phone. Can you read what’s written? It’s TFLASH aka Transflash. As far as I know Nokia does not call its expansion slot by T-Flash. Do they?

Ok, I made up that weird name but don’t you think it goes correctly with the mirrored Apple logo? Anyways, if you dismiss the logo as a marketing gimmick and were to see this netbook with a real company’s branding, I bet this could turn out to be a good netbook. How? Well, firstly its got 3G and secondly, the specs page say that it is powered by VX855 chipset from Via which brings 1080p decoding while consuming only 2.3 Watts.

Rest of the feature set includes a 10.1-inch LED screen, 1.3GHz Via Nano processor, up to 2GB RAM, 160GB HDD or 64GB SSD, card reader, Windows XP or Linux, webcam, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and array of I/O ports.

When Chinese can make a concept phone to reality, this shouldn’t come as a surprise. The latest addition to the perfectly cloned masterpiece is PK Nokia 5800 which is the obvious rip-off of Nokia 5800XM. If the cheap price tag, dual SIM card and coolness that matches Nokia are the things you dig for, this is a match made in heaven.

The feature set includes – dual SIM card support, quad-band GSM, 3-inch WQVGA (640X360 pixels) touchscreen, Bluetooth, G-sensor (that helps to change music tracks), E-book reader, GPRS, FM Radio, e-book reader, AVI/3GP/MP4 playback, VGA camera, microSD card (up to 8GB) and comes bundled with two 1800mAh batteries.

The phone is priced at $115.25.

Sure, Motorola Aura is an outstanding phone with the high class materials and its unique form factor but the $2000 price tag made most of them to stay away from this eye candy. But fret not coz ever good lads from China have fulfilled your wishes at 5 percent of Aura’s price. Presenting RicT-007 Avra that takes each and every nuance of Aura built with cheap materials and sells it for just around 100 bucks.

There’s another Aura clone if for some reason this doesn’t appeal to you.

Can’t afford the $2000 Motorola Aura? Well, our Chinese brothers have tried to bring the ‘luxury’ of the Aura into Wingtech D20 and that too at almost 1/10th of the original’s price. You won’t get 700 working components in this phone nor sapphire crystals but the high class materials will be substituted with plastic and wonderful artwork besides the screen.

The specs include support for dual-band GSM networks, GPRS class 10, music player, 1.5-inch screen with 128×128 pixel resolution, USB port and a talk time of 4 hours. One area where the clone outsmarts the original is in the camera department. Wingtech D20 sports 3-megapixel as compared to 2-megapixel of Aura.
