Outsiders meaning firms with absolutely no connection to Apple. Ubergizmo spotted this clamshell, iPod-like design (above) from China's HiPhone. Other knockoffs (like the second example, from Thailand) are just scaled-down versions of the original iPhone.

Apple will likely update the iPhone line in June.

The exterior will feature dedicated music playback controls that resemble an iPod Clickwheel, while a monochrome display shows the current time. Flip it open and you will find a 2.4" <A class="iAs" classname="iAs" href="#" target="_blank" itxtdid="8939945">touchscreen</A> display alongside a numeric keypad for all your correspondence options. Heck, the manufacturers of the HiPHone Nano try to squeeze in more advantage by packing in dual-SIM support. All these for <A href="http://chinagrabber.com/2-4-tri-band-hiphone-nano-flip-phone-w-dual-sim-standby-camera-bluetooth---hiphone-nano.aspx">$124.99</A> sans contract - we admit it does look like a butchered iPod nano at first glance. Hopefully Apple releases their iPhone nano (if any) and show the world how it is supposed to be done.</P></blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/12/26/iphone_nano_knockoffs_already_on_sale_in_thailand_photos.html" href="http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/12/26/iphone_nano_knockoffs_already_on_sale_in_thailand_photos.html" style="font-size: 11px;">www.appleinsider.com</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/12/26/iphone_nano_knockoffs_already_on_sale_in_thailand_photos.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.appleinsider.com/img/4276C5BB-E528-48F9-B90F-9862017B1FB9" alt="iPhone nano clones in Thailand" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/12/26/iphone_nano_knockoffs_already_on_sale_in_thailand_photos.html">The devices, spotted here by an <EM>AppleInsider</EM> reader in Thailand, are almost always designed to mimic Apple's products as closely as possible</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/421746D1-6494-4BE9-B7C2-1FAC13B03197/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
