Obscure (these kinds of operations always are) cell phone manufacturer, Deeda, has announced their new Pi Phone. Deeda claims that their iPhone clone “is the next generation of portable consumer multimedia devices,” and has been in development since 2005. Right, we’re sure Apple’s legal team will be fine with that and leave Deeda on its merry way. But, should the Pi Phone come through on its feature set – consisting of a 3.6 inch touch screen, proximity sensors, haptic touch feedback, WiFi, Bluetooth, and 800 x 480 resolution, 2 megapixel cam, and that familiar interface – the Pi Phone could give the iPhone some competition.
These kinds of device releases are dubious, at best, and will likely be subject to all kind of legal prosecution long before Deeda ships a single phone. Still, we’d like to see this thing come to market, if for nothing more than a comparison with the Apple iPhone.
