No, this is not true. This is a work of some joker or someone who has grudge over GMA.
According to the GMA official website,
The sham Web site has the URL http://gmanewstv.comoj.com/karatekidaids.htm, and recently it posted a fabricated news item entitled “KARATE KID” FAST FOOD with AIDS!!!” The bogus story was about a 14-year-old boy who was diagnosed with AIDS after eating in a Makati restaurant.
This is a photo of the battery I bought from H&K telecoms.
I tell you, if you don’t want to waste your money, don’t buy ” H&K ” brand batteries and accessories. It is so low quality that, it is as good as throwing your money and flushing it down the drain.
I will post the clearer photo tomorrow. This is the photo I took using my camera phone.
You won’t go wrong with original batteries. Believe me.
Cost of original battery - 2,200.00 pesos
Usage duration - 3 years++
Cost of fake / H&K battery - 200.00 pesos
Usage Duration - 3 days (or less)
I am not exagerating. It really is that low quality. The store wouldn’t even change the battery for me.
Sheeeesh!
You better read Gadget Reviews first before buying, or else…
According to this article, Imitations are here to stay, “Generally, Filipinos don’t mind if they’re using fake products. It may be subversive but the masa isn’t aware of that. Imitations are patronized simply because they are cheap and affordable,” Chua stresses.
Imitation is cheap but, it doesn’t mean that you bought it at a low price, you will get the value for your peso. For example, a few weeks ago, I bought one H&K brand battery for my mobile phone. As we all know, H&K is an imitation battery for major mobile phones. At first, I thought I had a good deal. “Only 200 pesos!, wow!” Guess what. After three days, the battery won’t charge and carry battery load.
I learned my lesson this way. Although its cheap, it only worked for 3 days. If I bought the original battery, it woulld cost me around 2 thousand pesos but, It would work for years.
Again, warning! Do not buy H&K / Other imitation battery brands.
1. No Warranty.
2. Cause of fire/ Explosion.
3. Very short battery life.
4. Unreliable source of power.
5. You are patronizing fake products that doesn’t pass quality control.
Worst Buy award for “Mobile Phone Battery” goes to… *Drumroll!*
Lately, there has been a proliferation of fake Nokia devices in the market according to Nikka Abes, corporate communications manager of Nokia Philippines.
“These phones are branded Nokia and sometimes even the packaging is made to look like the real thing and we need to warn consumers about it,” said Abes.
Phone models such as Nokia N81, Nokia 5310, Nokia N95, Nokia N82 and Nokia 6120, among others, are being sold at a 1/2 to 1/3 of the original price. Abes said that fake Nokia phones are lighter in weight than the original.
Now, once these models are found to be fake, Nokia Care Centers will not repair these phones for any device problem.
Here are tips to know if the phone is legit or not: Click here.
The first third-gen iPod nano fake we spotted was kind of low on details, so we’re glad to see YJL giving it to us straight here with the new U2-C player. Innovative features include MP4, MP3 and WMA playback, mass storage support (what a novel idea!), voice recording, “A-B repeat” and an FM tuner. Clearly the iPod nano can never hope to compete, but good try Apple, you’ll lick ‘em next time. No word on capacities or price, but these things can’t be far from eBayability.
Everything has an immitation…even cars…!? smart car!
Yeah, cellphones, media players and logo’d clothing items are all well and good, but if you really want to stand out in China’s competitive market of highly commercial disregard for intellectual property, you’ve gotta think big. That’s why we’re so impressed by CMEC, who not only managed to rip off an entire car, but are also sneaking their electric version of the Smart Car into one of Smart’s own favored markets — Great Britain. While externally the “City Smart” from CMEC is virtually identical to the Fortwo model that inspired it, CMEC modded up the interior a bit to avoid legal woes: “When we designed the car we were aware that we might be opening ourselves up to legal action,” sez Jerry Chen, sales manager for CMEC. “That’s why we’ve imitated the outside but concentrated on making the interior look different.” Um, right. Their electric motor is also quite a departure from the real Smart cars, and while its 34MPH top-speed won’t have it venturing far from congested city streets, it’s hard to complain about the 4,200 euro ($5,270 US) pricetag. Well, other than the incredibly shady legality of the whole affair. DaimlerChrysler, parent company of Smart, is currently doing its darnedest to keep the City Smart out of the rest of Europe, while they prep their own Fortwo successor that most certainly will cost more than $5k, but is also more likely to involve certain niceties like original design and at least a teensy bit of pep.
=============================
Thats how good their technology is. so high tech that they can immitate anything they want. it might not have the same quality but, they have their own way of testing quality. up to their standards maybe. I went to China personally a few years back and saw a lot of immitation stuffs. cars, i will mention in particular because this articles is about a cloned smart car.
I saw, a rav4 cloned, another, the front is a BMW x5, but the back part looks exactly like the 2002 honda crv. what a fusion! I will try to search for my photos of those cars.
Engadget reader Richard Heard came across this “PSP” in the Queen Victoria Markets, in Melbourne, Australia. The price: a mere AU$12 (US$9). Of course, this isn’t the first PSP clone we’ve seen, but it may win the award for the cheapest one to actually dare to include “PSP” in its branding. Just who do they think they’re fooling?
With all the news of iPhone-inspired mobile phones, I thought I’d put together a list of the five most notable iPhone clones:
Meizu miniOne
Teclast T59
LG Prada KE850
ASUS Aura
iSoftPhone
See these iPhone competitors reviewed after the jump…
Meizu miniOne
Meizu’s miniOne, formerly known as the M8, will sport:
WinCE 6.0
3-megapixel camera (compared to iPhone’s 2 megapixels)
3.3-inch VGA+ screen (iPhone’s is 3.5 inches)
GSM support
TV-out
Photo/video/MP3 compatibility
The miniOne seems like a suitable iPhone alternative for the Windows-inclined who can live without a rotating display and Visual Voicemail.
It will likely be more affordable than the iPhone, too. And lucky for you the miniOne looks a lot like the iPhone, so you may be able to fool your friends into thinking you own one.
Read more about the Meizu miniOne (and see more photos) in my previous posts:
The Teclast T59 is another aesthetically-appealing iPhone clone. Since the T59 is only in its concept stages, a lot could change still, but here are some of the specs for this 3G mobile phone:
Windows CE
Built-in GPS
WiFi
VGA screen w/ secondary display
FM radio
Photo/video/MP3 compatibility
The T59’s got a sleek black finish with a chrome lining like the iPhone’s. Here are two concept photos:
LG Prada KE850
LG’s Prada KE850, designed in tandem with the fashion designer, was announced last year and will debut in Europe later this month for a whopping 600 Euros (almost $800 USD). It will feature:
2-megapixel camera
microSD card slot (to make up for its skimpy 8 MB of memory)
Bluetooth 2.0 & USB 2.0
Preloaded w/ black & white theme (others may be available)
FM radio
Photo/video/MP3 compatibility
Sorry LG, but for $800 big ones I’d rather get an iPhone and a half.
ASUS Aura
The ASUS Aura is, to me, the least visually attractive of the iPhone clones, though it’s got the largest touchscreen at 3.9 inches as well as a rotating display like the iPhone’s. Other features include:
2 megapixel camera
Bluetooth
microSD card slot
miniUSB
Photo/video/MP3 compatibility
Two photos:
iSoftPhone
This iPhone lookalike is not a physical mobile phone but a Mac OS X desktop application that functions as a user interface for VoIP phones.
Even the iSoftPhone website is a knockoff of Apple’s. They’re gonna have some real problems getting this past Apple’s legal team.
I tell you, if you don’t want to waste your money, don’t buy ” H&K ” brand batteries and accessories. It is so low quality that, it is as good as throwing your money and flushing it down the drain.
