We’ve gotta hand it to them: electronics conmen are extremely confident in their belief in the ignorance of the masses. Gaze at the unbelievably poor “Ipod [sic] style Mobile Phone iPhone” rendition above, and then suck in the £75 (around $150) pricetag. It comes complete with an iPod-esque white finish, Mac OS X wallpaper, and a strange Quicktime skin for the included media player, but the kicker has got to be the modified Apple logo — as if the extra leaf is going to fool anyone.

It’s one thing to bust out your own Eee PC wannabe knowing full well it isn’t apt to catch on, but the Airis Kira 100 isn’t even different enough to warrant such a label. No, this copycat smells, looks and likely feels just like Asus’ darling, packing a 7-inch 800 x 480 resolution display, a 1GHz Via C7 processor, gigabit Ethernet / modem jacks, integrated multicard reader, a pair of USB 2.0 ports, 802.11b/g WiFi, built-in webcam and a battery good for “four hours.” Oh please, don’t tell us you’re seriously considering this €299 ($476) imposter just because of the loud paint jobs. Wait, are you?
