iPhone already has two brothers...

Mar 04, 2007
iPhone will be available for buyers only in June, but there are two very similar to iPhone phones there. These two phones are LG KE 850 Prada and MeizuM8. iPhone, Prada and M8 have a very similar design and Apple's lawyers will have a large field of operations because of this fact. This similarity can stimulate many scandals and hearings.

These three gadgets have one more very important similarity – they are completely controlled by touch screen. iPhone will have the largest display - its size will be 3,5 inches. Meizu M8 will have a little bit smaller display (3,4 inches) and Prada will have the smallest display – its size will be 3 inches. But in the same time M8 will have the best resolution it will be 720 by 480 while iPhone's resolution is 320 by 480 and Prada's - 240 by 400. This statistic says that it is better to use Meizu’s product for watching movies or TV shows.



Prada's interface is very similar with OS X but LG made its home screen in white and black color theme, it makes it very glamorous. M8 has very similar to iPhone's interface too but it has multicolor home screen theme. You can launch the applications directly from the home screen in all these phones.

It's a pity but we know nothing about Prada's and Meizu's Operation System. As iPhone has a very strict OS and you can not install any applications on it. If one of these phones will have open OS it will be a great plus for it and this fact can be a key moment in this competition.

All these phones have good multimedia characteristics but Apple already has a very successful experience in producing portable multimedia devices (Its iPod has a great success in the world). As iPhone is a symbiosis of a phone and iPod we can surely say that its users will be pleased with its multimedia functions. As about camera Meizu made its phone with 3 megapixel camera while its business rivals was greedy and built in their phones only 2.0 megapixel cameras.

This phones will cost:
  • iPhone – 500 $(for 4 GB verion) and 600$(8 GB version)

  • LG Prada – 700$

  • Meizu M8 – no information

I described you the newest gadgets in the cell phone market. You can choose original iPhone with perfect multimedia characteristics, stylish and glamorous Prada or functional M8.

I'm writing this on my iphone and I can say i have tons of great paid apps and free apps on it from the iTunes store. And the games are fantastic. Will be hard for a competitor to do a copycat system that works this well.

I think that is totally possible. Maybe its their main feature - the screen. They had to overcome iPhone somehow.

I came across this page after looking for info on the iPhone screen resolution but quickly got sidetracked...

Are you sure that those numbers for the Meizu M8 are correct? Those figures would put it at about 250dpi; a number significantly higher than any other display I am aware of. If so, do you know where I could get updated info on this device? I've searched around but can only find articles from March 2007...
