Hang on….before you reach to any conclusion after reading the headline, I would
like to clarify that it's not Apple's iPhone. A Brazilian company IGB Eletronica
SA is selling Android-based iphones in Brazil. Interestingly, IGB owns the
rights to the word 'iphone' in Brazil.
The first model, called 'iphone Neo One', is a low-powered dual-SIM smartphone running Android 2.3 Gingerbread and features a single core 700MHz processor, a 3.7-inch display, and a 5 megapixel camera.
IGB was formed this year after the restructuring of Gradiente Eletronica SA, which had applied for rights in Brazil to register its products under the name IPHONE in 2000, while Apple came up with its first smartphone under the iPhone brand in 2007. Also, in 2008 the company secured rights to the name from a local regulator of patents.
So, are you happy to see this interesting merger of iPhone and Android???
