jPhone – Another iPhone clone?
Why are companies around the world trying to ride on the success of Apple iPhone? Is this particular phone the end of creativity? Sun recently announced the Java Mobile FX software along with the prototype of iphone clone and more than the software it was the phone which caught the attention all because it looked like the twisted sibling of Apple iPhone. Very soon we will see this phone with the software and it will constantly remind you of the famed Apple iPhone.
Will it be called jPhone? It seems so but why aren't companies thinking beyond iPhone. I know it caught a lot of media attention but if they try to take 'inspiration' from it they are indirectly giving it further popularity at cost of their brand image. Sun Chairman Scott McNealy stated that we have our own shirtsleeve version of Steve Jobs announcing a phone. It's no smartness to come up with smart phone which lack an original recipe. Can somebody really think out of the box otherwise I will go off to sleep!!

Remember that apple copied GUI from Xerox Parc, Microsoft copied Apple, and Sun and all the companies have to be competitive. Im glad Sun got this phone and I can do software for this phone. Apple IPhone Steve Jobs(Another Bill Gates style) let out 3rd partity developers out so I cant develop for the IPhone, So Thanks Sun for this gift and I can enjoy and sell my software on this new Phone and be competitive with the market.
