Clonedroid - Running Google Android on Chinese iPhone Clones
Google’s Android smartphone platform, a free, high quality operating system and SDK for cell phones, opens up a world of innovation to ARM-based Chinese iPhone clones. The latest of these phones, such as the Daxian T32, theoretically have the horsepower to compete with Nokia, HTC, and Motorola offerings. What clone phones universally lack is a decent operating system.
I think that the nascent developing nation cell phone market represents the next iteration of the Internet, and global networking as we know it. These phones might be the OLPC realized, and more. They are effectively the PC for billions of consumers in the developing world just now coming online.
And I think there’s money to be made in localized, multilingual applications and web services.
