Keepin’ it real fake, part CXVI: Tilt gets shamelessly aped

April 07th, 2008 | Category: Gadget Corner

Filed under:

As the bar for really, truly ripping another product off gets ratcheted up, leave it to Awang to form certain it keeps pace. The A9000 handset makes no attempt to veil itself from being seen as the impostor that it truly is, featuring the same QWERTY keypad, general design and tilt-ability as the long-established AT&T Tilt. Judging by the looks of things, those not ashamed with carrying around a Class-A

wannabe will find Windows Mobile (”or similar”) under the hood, a T-Flash expansion slot, built-in camera and a lovely stylus for good measure. We’ve seen creativity get slapped in the face before, but that is a bona fide low blow.

[Thanks, Steve]
