			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While rumors continue to abound of Apple releasing an iPhone Nano someday, you can get your hands on a miniature iPhone right now &#8211; just as long as you don&#8217;t mind that it&#8217;s a cheap Chinese knock-off that&#8217;s clearly violating just about every intellectual property law you can think of.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-11172 aligncenter" title="cect_m188" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/cect_m188.jpg" alt="cect m188" width="520" height="358" /></p>
<p>The CECT m188 borrows its looks and menus from the original iPhone, but smashes them into a package that&#8217;s just 86mm x 48mm x 11mm, making it about the size of a credit card (and just about as thick as  a standard iPhone). The screen measures in at 2.6&#8243; diagonal, and while it is touch-sensitive, you&#8217;ll really want to use a stylus with it.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11175" title="mini_m188_iphone_clone" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/mini_m188_iphone_clone.jpg" alt="mini m188 iphone clone" width="520" height="357" /></p>
<p>While it&#8217;s definitely no iPhone, the m188 is definitely an interesting novelty. The phone is completely unlocked and works on 900/1800/1900Mhz GSM networks around the world. As an added bonus, the m188 supports dual SIM cards, in case you have phone service with two different providers. I&#8217;m not sure why you&#8217;d really need this &#8211; one phone bill is plenty for me.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11173" title="cect_m188_mini_iphone" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/cect_m188_mini_iphone.jpg" alt="cect m188 mini iphone" width="520" height="434" /></p>
<p>There&#8217;s also GPRS connectivity for data transmission, a built-in MP3 player, MP4/AVI video player, and an FM radio with scheduled recording capability. There&#8217;s also a digital camera, but it&#8217;s only 640&#215;480 resolution which is REALLY lame.</p>
<p>In case you&#8217;re interested, here&#8217;s a video of the little phone being unboxed and showing off some of its features.</p>
