iPhone Accused of Copycatting Korean Model

By Kim Tae-gyu Staff Reporter The iPhone of Apple Computer is allegedly a clone of a handset made by the Seoul-based LG Electronics, the world’s fifth-largest cell phone manufacturer. An info-tech Web site Engadget (www.engadget.com) yesterday said that the iPhone is very similar to the LG KE850, which has a moniker of the ``Prada phone.’’ While comparing looks and touch-sensitive keypads of the two models with big pictures, the site asks for responses from readers on their similarities. ``Two sparsely-buttoned large, touch screen phones: the Apple iPhone and the LG KE850. Separated at birth, or possible lawsuit No. 2 for Apple? You decide,’’ the site briefly introduces the pictures. http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/tech...8245011800.htm
