Cifans team has never stopped their effort of researching and developing CiPhone c6. ROM-the official version of c6 has been updated to the seventh after proving that the same effect could be reached base on the windows mobile platform. The great strength of smart is becoming more distinct with the development of China mobile phone stability.

CiPhone c6, released by cifns, is a smart phone which is with great resemblance to iPhone. This c6 is equipped with windows Mobile operating system, adopted stable k3 processor produced by Huawei Tech. As its hardware. As to its memory, it adopts 256M (NAND Flash) + 128m (DDR RAM). What is more, it even supports GPS navigation and WI-FI.

The R & D team has added up two languages –traditional Chinese, Germany to this phone except for its original default languages- simplified Chinese and English several days ago. Thanks to the contribution made by its fans in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Germany. Technology should be people-oriented. We are going to create new if there is a demand.

The CiPhone with window mobile built in, the best smart phone, has always gained popularity among players home and aboard. CiPhone is concerning with overseas market marked by its new released languages.  We believe we can get more valuable service and products from c6.

Thousands of Aussies who had naughtily unlocked their iPhones were suddenly greeted with a new wallpaper on their mobil phones featuring the ‘80s one hit wonder Rick Astley (who became famous for the song “Never gonna give you up”. It’s a far prettier site than the image of the worm maker, Ashley Town, a 21 year old student from south of Sydney:

The infected iPhone screen, Rick Astley virus wallpaper image (top right), and Ashley Towns (bottom right).

The successful worm virus has sparked a debate about whether Ashley did owners of the unlocked phones a favor by exposing the security flaw. A comment in The Age actually revealed that, “This news article fails to mention that not only does it set up a wallpaper, it also fixes the vulnerability in the phones.”

If these Aussies had shanzhai iPhone clones, would they still have been vulnerable to the goth hackers’ attack? By unlocking phones and going with shanzhai versions, are you just asking for trouble?

There are reportedly iPhone clones that do run the real Apple OS X but more commonly, they run Windows Mobile and what we’re seeing more and more now is that the shanzhai are choosing Google’s free Android OS. So far Android has appeared to be pretty secure, although anti-virus software has been developed and launched for it anyway.

XpPhone releases that this smart phone will be positioned as follows: the first tri-mode tri-standby phone in the world, with 5 MP camera, supports for Windows 7…

To be honest, I have just received their official MAIL and I was scared by it. It has not been released but it is really unbelievable, and is said to have 4.3-inch, 4.8-inch, 7-inch size in option.

In short, we haven’t seen the real handset now, so let’s just wait and see…I will update it once there is any news.

If you’ve been tempted by the iPhone but have not yet succumbed, you’re likely to be able to take advantage of some very appealing offers as first China cell phone Orange and then Vodafone add Apple’s handset to their range.

To buy or not to buy: the upcoming iPhone price war is good for the consumer.

The iPhone will be on Orange before Christmas, perhaps as early as this month, and Vodafone customers will be able to get it in the new year. Both networks will be relieved to stop iPhone-seeking customers leaking away to O2 but they will also want to tempt new subscribers.

So if you want one, when is the best time to buy? Are the best deals going to be available at Christmas, when Orange and O2 go head-to-head, or early next year when the iPhone goes to Vodafone as well?

Handset prices are unlikely to change – they don’t vary much in other countries where the iPhone is offered by multiple networks – and you’re unlikely to see more than a £5-a-month cut in tariffs. Expect instead to see the networks vying to offer the best package – for instance, more call minutes or texts included in the monthly fee. Internet tethering, the ability to use your iPhone as a modem for your laptop, could come into play too. Many of O2’s customers think tethering is too expensive, providing competitors with the opportunity to make cuts.

The networks are keeping quiet about pricing so far and we also don’t know how they plan to play their hands. O2 and Orange could offer their best possible deals at Christmas, hoping to lure into contracts those who might be tempted to wait for Vodafone. On the other hand they might keep a little back, ready for the three-way price war.

O2 has lost exclusivity on the iPhone but it at least has the Palm Pre, the iPhone’s closest competitor, to itself. However, O2’s 3G network, which has had problems over the last few months, is unlikely to improve once the Pre arrives.

But the dust may not have settled. In the coming weeks other networks, such as 3 and Virgin, could add the handset to their services.

If you’ve waited this long for an iPhone, our advice is to wait a little longer, and take the best deal available after Vodafone enters the fray next year.

More China Mobile Phones

We’ve seen plenty of cloned iPhones on this love China cell phone blog, each with their very own variation on the Apple original. This is a little black number for the ladies. Built to be almost identical to the stylish original, the CCK10 squeezes a whole lotta love into a more compact, sleeker from factor.

Seriously. Pound for pound this iPhone clone is the latest iteration in a long line of phoney kin, perhaps the culmination of several shanzhai generations. The objective behind the the CCK10’s design is simple. If an iPhone was designed for a woman, how would it differ? Assuming that woman was not my aunty Loius, or it would no doubt involve doilies of some description, the young lady about town prefers a simple scaled down version of her male counterpart’s smart phone.

Sounds easy, but it isn’t. With small electronic devices, size is often proportional to heat. As the years have passed we’ve learned how to reduce energy consumption and excess heat from silicon chips, batteries and displays, but they still have enormous influence on the size of a device. Reports of exploding iPhones exist because just occasionally those components do get too hot.

Here we have it next to an ATM card for comparison.

Ask yourself: Will future iterations of Apple’s leading phone device be larger or smaller? I suspect that efforts towards ’smaller’ and ‘thinner’ will still dominate the path ahead.

Available in both black and white. Of course.

The CCK10 is to all extents and purposes a true clone. The design, finish and packaging are all designed to make you feel like you’ve that special phone you’ve seen in magazines and even movies. It’s an iPhone clone that almost has you fooled. Except that the CCK10 measures in at 80mm x 46mm x 11.5mm, that’s not only 35mm shorter and16mm less wide, but also 0.8mm thinner. The touchcsreen is 2.2 inches compared to the 3.5 on the original.

Comment:

The finish is not quite a glossy as Apple’s, and there’s no precious logo on the reverse. Also the inclusion of a stylus may indicate an inferior touch screen experience, then again it could simply help writing in Chinese on a smaller screen. We’re told that the software and features are the same as previous generations, which would indicate that the same pair of ARM processors are alive and well within; unless of course that’s not quite the case and a more compact shell equates to hit in performance.

The price for this guy, or gal as I should say, is 585 RMB, which is just around 86 USD. There is no doubt in my mind that it will join a slew of highly successful iPhone products already flooding the markets of China, now competing with legitimate OPhone offerings.  In fact the arrival of devices like Lonovo’s OPhone will, I suspect further the ambitious and quick-to-react shanzhai to upping the quality and choices they provide.

Conclusions:

I actually heard my girlfriend complain that her iPhone was a bit bulky. And if today’s fashionable clubbing crowd are anything to go by, handbags can quite dainty. Why not offer a mini-iPhone Apple? It makes sense.

The engineer:  The demo was not going well.

The manager: Do it again.

It was a late morning in the fall of 2006. Almost a year earlier, Steve Jobs had tasked about 200 of Apple’s top engineers with creating the iPhone. Yet here, in Apple’s boardroom, it was clear that the prototype was still a disaster. It wasn’t just buggy, it flat-out didn’t work. The phone dropped calls constantly, the battery stopped charging before it was full, data and applications routinely became corrupted and unusable. The list of problems seemed endless. At the end of the demo, Jobs fixed the dozen or so people in the room with a level stare and said, “We don’t have a product yet.”

The effect was even more terrifying than one of Jobs’ trademark tantrums. When the Apple chief screamed at his staff, it was scary but familiar. This time, his relative calm was unnerving. “It was one of the few times at Apple when I got a chill,” says someone who was in the meeting.

The ramifications were serious. The iPhone was to be the centerpiece of Apple’s annual Macworld convention, set to take place in just a few months. Since his return to Apple in 1997, Jobs had used the event as a showcase to launch his biggest products, and Apple-watchers were expecting another dramatic announcement. Jobs had already admitted that Leopard — the new version of Apple’s operating system — would be delayed. If the iPhone wasn’t ready in time, Macworld would be a dud, Jobs’ critics would pounce, and Apple’s stock price could suffer.

This 4.8-ounce sliver of glass and aluminum is an explosive device that has forever changed the mobile-phone business, wresting power from carriers and giving it to manufacturers, developers, and consumers.

And what would AT&T think? After a year and a half of secret meetings, Jobs had finally negotiated terms with the wireless division of the telecom giant (Cingular at the time) to be the iPhone’s carrier. In return for five years of exclusivity, roughly 10 percent of iPhone sales in AT&T stores, and a thin slice of Apple’s iTunes revenue, AT&T had granted Jobs unprecedented power. He had cajoled AT&T into spending millions of dollars and thousands of man-hours to create a new feature, so-called visual voicemail, and to reinvent the time-consuming in-store sign-up process. He’d also wrangled a unique revenue-sharing arrangement, garnering roughly $10 a month from every iPhone customer’s AT&T bill. On top of all that, Apple retained complete control over the design, manufacturing, and marketing of the iPhone. Jobs had done the unthinkable: squeezed a good deal out of one of the largest players in the entrenched wireless industry. Now, the least he could do was meet his deadlines.

For those working on the iPhone, the next three months would be the most stressful of their careers. Screaming matches broke out routinely in the hallways. Engineers, frazzled from all-night coding sessions, quit, only to rejoin days later after catching up on their sleep. A product manager slammed the door to her office so hard that the handle bent and locked her in; it took colleagues more than an hour and some well-placed whacks with an aluminum bat to free her.

But by the end of the push, just weeks before Macworld, Jobs had a prototype to show to the suits at AT&T. In mid-December 2006, he met wireless boss Stan Sigman at a suite in the Four Seasons hotel in Las Vegas. He showed off the iPhone’s brilliant screen, its powerful Web browser, its engaging user interface. Sigman, a taciturn Texan steeped in the conservative engineering traditions that permeate America’s big phone companies, was uncharacteristically effusive, calling the iPhone “the best device I have ever seen.” (Details of this and other key moments in the making of the iPhone were provided by people with knowledge of the events. Apple and AT&T would not discuss these meetings or the specific terms of the relationship.)

Six months later, on June 29, 2007, the iPhone went on sale. At press time, analysts were speculating that customers would snap up about 3 million units by the end of 2007, making it the fastest-selling smartphone of all time. It is also arguably Apple’s most profitable device. The company nets an estimated $80 for every $399 iPhone it sells, and that’s not counting the $240 it makes from every two-year AT&T contract an iPhone customer signs. Meanwhile, about 40 percent of iPhone buyers are new to AT&T’s rolls, and the iPhone has tripled the carrier’s volume of data traffic in cities like New York and San Francisco.

But as important as the iPhone has been to the fortunes of Apple and AT&T, its real impact is on the structure of the $11 billion-a-year US mobile phone industry. For decades, wireless carriers have treated manufacturers like serfs, using access to their networks as leverage to dictate what phones will get made, how much they will cost, and what features will be available on them. Handsets were viewed largely as cheap, disposable lures, massively subsidized to snare subscribers and lock them into using the carriers’ proprietary services. But the iPhone upsets that balance of power. Carriers are learning that the right phone — even a pricey one — can win customers and bring in revenue. Now, in the pursuit of an Apple-like contract, every manufacturer is racing to create a phone that consumers will love, instead of one that the carriers approve of. “The iPhone is already changing the way carriers and manufacturers behave,” says Michael Olson, a securities analyst at Piper Jaffray.

TO BE CONTINUED…

In 2002, shortly after the first iPod was released, Jobs started thinking about developing a phone. He saw millions of Americans lugging separate phones, BlackBerrys, and — now — MP3 players; naturally, consumers would prefer just one device. He also saw a future in which cell phones and mobile email devices would amass ever more features, eventually challenging the iPod’s dominance as a music player. To protect his new product line, Jobs knew he would eventually need to venture into the wireless world.

If the idea was obvious, so were the obstacles. Data networks were sluggish and not ready for a full-blown handheld Internet device. An iPhone would require Apple to create a completely new operating system; the iPod’s OS wasn’t sophisticated enough to manage complicated networking or graphics, and even a scaled-down version of OS X would be too much for a cell phone chip to handle. Apple would be facing strong competition, too: In 2003, consumers had flocked to the Palm Treo 600, which merged a phone, PDA, and BlackBerry into one slick package. That proved there was demand for a so-called convergence device, but it also raised the bar for Apple’s engineers.

Then there were the wireless carriers. Jobs knew they dictated what to build and how to build it, and that they treated the hardware as little more than a vehicle to get users onto their networks. Jobs, a notorious control freak himself, wasn’t about to let a group of suits — whom he would later call “orifices” — tell him how to design his phone.

By 2004 Apple’s iPod business had become more important, and more vulnerable, than ever. The iPod accounted for 16 percent of company revenue, but with 3G phones gaining popularity, Wi-Fi phones coming soon, the price of storage plummeting, and rival music stores proliferating, its long-term position as the dominant music device seemed at risk.

So that summer, while he publicly denied he would build an Apple phone, Jobs was working on his entry into the mobile phone industry. In an effort to bypass the carriers, he approached Motorola. It seemed like an easy fix: The handset maker had released the wildly popular RAZR, and Jobs knew Ed Zander, Motorola’s CEO at the time, from Zander’s days as an executive at Sun Microsystems. A deal would allow Apple to concentrate on developing the music software, while Motorola and the carrier, Cingular, could hash out the complicated hardware details.

Of course, Jobs’ plan assumed that Motorola would produce a successor worthy of the RAZR, but it soon became clear that wasn’t going to happen. The three companies dickered over pretty much everything — how songs would get into the phone, how much music could be stored there, even how each company’s name would be displayed. And when the first prototypes showed up at the end of 2004, there was another problem: The gadget itself was ugly.

Jobs unveiled the ROKR in September 2005 with his characteristic aplomb, describing it as “an iPod shuffle on your phone.” But Jobs likely knew he had a dud on his hands; consumers, for their part, hated it. The ROKR — which couldn’t download music directly and held only 100 songs — quickly came to represent everything that was wrong with the US wireless industry, the spawn of a mess of conflicting interests for whom the consumer was an afterthought. Wired summarized the disappointment on its November 2005 cover: “YOU CALL THIS THE PHONE OF THE FUTURE?”

Even as the ROKR went into production, Jobs was realizing he’d have to build his own phone. In February 2005, he got together with Cingular to discuss a Motorola-free partnership. At the top-secret meeting in a midtown Manhattan hotel, Jobs laid out his plans before a handful of Cingular senior execs, including Sigman. (When AT&T acquired Cingular in December 2006, Sigman remained president of wireless.) Jobs delivered a three-part message to Cingular: Apple had the technology to build something truly revolutionary, “light-years ahead of anything else.” Apple was prepared to consider an exclusive arrangement to get that deal done. But Apple was also prepared to buy wireless minutes wholesale and become a de facto carrier itself.

Jobs had reason to be confident. Apple’s hardware engineers had spent about a year working on touchscreen technology for a tablet PC and had convinced him that they could build a similar interface for a phone. Plus, thanks to the release of the ARM11 chip, cell phone processors were finally fast and efficient enough to power a device that combined the functionality of a phone, a computer, and an iPod. And wireless minutes had become cheap enough that Apple could resell them to customers; companies like Virgin were already doing so.

In the China cell phone market, its multi-touch technology has reached a higher lever than the commercially available products, the fuselage behind the built-in 2 MP camera supports up to 1600 * 1200 pixels image output, but it does not support video capture, which is a big flaw in the aircraft. In the ring tone area, as a music flagship iPhone, there is only a few months putting-ring port, and it does not support custom ring tones (now it is been cracked by someone on the internet), however the volume is very limited.

Comment:
The launch of Apple iPhone (16GB) reduces the sales of 8 GB version iPhone. This has resulted in the mainland 8GB model at the same time reduce the number but the price continually improved. Now, iPhone 8GB through the series of price hikes after the original mobile phone has already disappeared in the market, more are “post-closure” models, but this week also has lacked of goods, so a lot of fans are very disappointed in the waiting.

 
Conclusion:
After all, it is a cloning phone, which is, said rudely, no technical content, and only the blind imitation, not having its own brand, so it is not an option. “Cloning”, of course, saves the cost of R & D, but if Apple is in a bad mood one day, iPhone can lift the patent law to against the cloning phones, which is very easy for apple. After all, business is still to be done, mortgages still have to pay, also having their own brand and technology is the kingly way, single-minded on the economy, and promoting the brand development with full mind is the only way to the world.
