Engadget ran a story about an OQO / Palm phone rip-off on Sat. Its an interesting mix of brands. I’m not sure why the Chinese think that the OQO brand is going to play a positive effect in the phone sector!
We checked with OQO just to make sure they know about this and as expected…"these are not our products and the manufacturer is not authorised by or affiliated with OQO in any way."
Chippy,
In China OQO have a very “high-end” and stylish reputation. They had a very fashionable launch as well… so I suppose there is plenty of OQO goodness to be associated with.
Cheers,

Fair point Tim. What is it they say about imitation and flattery again!
There’s even an Asian knock off of the OQO site I cant remember the URL right now.
Here one (not the one I was thinking of though)

did they also knocked off a Toshiba WinMo device?
