Sorry Mik, but I have to disagree with you about the iPhone clone. Steve Jobs is a master at sensationalism when it comes to product development and marketing. He has a steady history of making a good product that usually is the newest and greatest thing in his market area. Look back at his product development history and you'll find that he and his team usually leave room for improvement in the next version. That is what marketing is all about. The iClone has features that Mr. Jobs could have built into the original. But if he put everything in it that he could have, what could he do to improve the iPhone when "the fever" for the product cooled down? There was and is no reason why the phone had to be tied to one carrier. It could just have easily been made a 'world phone' from the very beginning. The hard drive could have more space without increasing the price. Of course with increase HDD size, there would be room for more applications. The reason for the iClone most likely wasn't jealousy or noticeable flaws in the original. The most likely reason is that Chinese engineers and businessmen knew that they could make a better phone and sell it at a profit for less than the original. Whether or not we will be able to buy one in the US is problematic because of the hundreds of US patents that Apple has on the iPhone. I am not a patent lawyer but I would bet the legal costs would be huge. About humans being cloned. You need to understand that anything living that can be cloned has or is in the process of being cloned. The public has never and will never know of all the things scientists are doing in some of their secret labs. Pappy68
