Taiwan's OEM reporting pulse --
DigiTimes -- claims that handset makers
Asustek,
BenQ,
Compal and
Arima Communications are all "aggressively developing iPhone-like products" for 2008. According to their sources, the devices will run on Microsoft's Windows Mobile platform and target business markets with features such as 3G and GPS.
DigiTimes' sources also claim that Nokia will release its
Symbian-based "
iPhone-like handset" in the first half of 2008. True or not, that's a lot of Apple hate-bait to swallow this early in the morning.

Isn't windows based and IPhone like a contradiction in terms. Unless Windows mobile have shelved current development plans, for the next version of windows mobile(which was previewed a few months ago) ther ain't no way that they are getting close to what the iphone looks like.
HTC touch is hardly a comparison./

That Nokia looks almost exactly like an iPod touch.

That nPhone's gonna be bitching, it'll be like an iPhone without all the stupidity like no homebrew, network exclusivity, iTunes, etc. I'll just have to skin that drab UI to make it look more colourful, something like the iPhone's, then all those elitist Apple losers can keep their pretty little phone with it's three year old technology
