iRiver to launch thier 1st GSM phone:Similar to iphone



PMP manufacturer iRiver planing to enter the cell phone market with their first GSM phone, showcasing a prototype of ala-iPhone-device with a full touchscreen navigation.
The iRiver GSM phone doesn't have any name so far and is due for the end of 2008. This phone runs on Linux-based user interface and has a large 3-inch touchscreen display with a resolution of 480 x 272 pixels. There is no keypad and the navigation and text input is done solely by tapping on the large screen - just like on iPhone. But the similarities with Apple's iphone don't end here. Not only user interface of the iRiver phone is too smimilar with the Apple iPhone one -but also the unlocking slider, the phone application, the icons structure and the icon graphics and the media player is suspiciously identical to the iPhone.
