Lenovo’s oPhone OS looks too Apple-ish and iPhone-ish

iphone-and-ophone

The images, I thought could be that of some iPhone clones. Wrong guess, a Chinese blog claims that the images are Lenovo’s Android oPhone OS. What a clone!

Look at the rounded square application icons? Don’t you think it is so iPhone-ish.

 Jump to the keypad page in the phone interface, don’t tell me this is the final design of the OS. It is likely that smartphone manufacturers consider making something that looks like the iPhone as the yardstick of popularity and success.

However, this may not be the right strategy to woo iPhone haters with something that strikingly looks like the iPhone.

And yes, even the oPhone looks pretty similar to our iPhone.

I won’t be surprised if Apple files a lawsuit against Lenovo if the oPhone at all comes out of  China.

    So?

    The iPhone looks quite similar to my old Motorola keypad! And somewhat similar to the MS desktop.

    Give me a break.

    Rounded corners are hardly an iPhone exclusive. Web 2.0 existed pre-iPhone and is the biggest proponent of rounded corners.
    As for the keypad? It has more in common with a RAZR than the iPhone. Why must people claim everything is an iPhone clone just because it tries to be simple, elegant and pretty.

    are you SERIOUS?

    because it is a touch screen phone with icons on it?

    not nearly as close cut as apple ripping the Iphone name from cisco…
    or the design from LG right?

    c’mon, iphone footprint? uninformed.

    Except icons, I cannt see any similarities. I just don’t understand what’s wrong with it. You even cannot read those Chinese characters!

    They may have a problem with the owner(s) of ophone.com too.
