iReadygo RG: NGP knockoff

Knock off tech is always there, whether it's in the shape of an iPed, or some other low grade product. But every once in a while, we're surprised. The iReadyGo is an NGP knockoff, but where this surprises, is that this is actually quite good.

The RG will run Android, although we've no idea which version. The CPU is stated to be running at 1GHZ and though the actual chip isn’t listed, an ARM Cortex A8 is a good guess since they are cheap now and still pretty powerful.

The screen is to be a capacitive 5-inch 800×480 OLED. The D pad looks pretty shoddy, and that left shoulder button seems to have popped out of place.

Wi-Fi and 3G are said to be supported, which means that these functions are not built in, so it'll probably be a function assisted by a dongle of some kind.

Obviously, we'd recommend waiting for the Sony NGP, but for something to do emulating, the iReadyGo RG could be quite promising.

Check out the pics below, and we'll keep you informed as to whether this thing could get you playing Goldeneye on the bus.

Knockoff Tech; What You Didn't Think You Wanted...

You all know one of the sort, a shady character, usually by the name Dodgey Dave, or Cockney Kev. But those folk have nothing on these guys.
We have, just for you, a few of our favourite knock-off tech. And to be fair, some of them have good ideas, but mostly, they kinda suck and steal design's from more known companies. We're sure you'll still warm to them though, we have a few favourites of our own...





iPad QWERTY Slider Edition

This, in all respect, isn't that bad of an idea. Sure, they've stole the 'initial' idea from a small company called Apple, but it packs a slide out Mac-esque keyboard. Apparently it comes booted with Windows 7, a 10-inch display and an Atom N450 processor. No other details available. Including name or price. So that kinda puts a stop to purchasing one.

Teso Windows 7 iPad Clone

10-inch 1024x600 capactive touchscreen, HDMI output, 1.66GHz Atom N450 processor, 1GB os DDR2 RAM, GPS, 3G, and a 3,000mAh battery. All it needs is a keyboard, and this things a pretty good netbook! Yep, the Teso is one of the finer iPad knock-off's, and, it actually uses the faceplate the iPad was intended to have. Irony, eh?

Again, no price!

Sony Vaio P Knockoff

SonyStyle (not the 'real' Sony Style) decided to take the Vaio P, and make it, well, affordable. Enter this 1.6GHz Atom powered mini laptop, sporting a 1024x600 8.9-inch screen, WiFi and a 16GB hard disk.
The price: £184.04 ($299)

iPod Nano Knockoff

Well, lookie here, it's a rather good iPod Nano (6th Gen) knock-off. Coming in either 1.5 or 1.8-inch touchscreen (we pressume resistive), as well as an external speaker and SD card reader.
The price? £13.64 ($19.35 if you're in America).

Now, of course, we don't expect you to actually go out and buy these things, but if you or someone you know happen to own one already, we'd love to hear how they fare!
