And despite being "better", it doesn't make it popular.

Think of it this way. Most machines use Microsoft Windows which is mediocre at best.

This is actually quite funny: Chinese knockoff artists have their "copy" of a "Nokia N9" on sale already!

Except that Nokia's so slow to market these days that knockoffs appear on sale well before the "item that was intended to be original"...

Technically the Chinese fly-by-night manufacturers have therefore created the original design?!



Full Engadget blurb:
Keepin' it real fake: Nokia N9 doesn't wait for mature MeeGo to launch in China

By Vlad Savov posted Jan 13th 2011 6:16PM

As with the N8, so with the N9. Nokia's first MeeGo device is widely expected to be dubbed the N9 and sport a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, but its elongated time to market has given Chinese KIRF artists the chance to beat Finland with their own device. Parsing together leaked pictures and perhaps some insider info we're not privy to, some crafty folks have put together the above 14mm-thin slider, outfitting it with a 3-inch screen, front- and rear-facing cameras, Bluetooth, WiFi, FM radio, microSD card slot, dual SIM capabilities, and an almost entirely metallic construction. The OS is some sort of Symbian lookalike, while the price is an eminently affordable 700 yuan ($106). You'll just need to find the right market stall in Shenzhen to get yours.

Yes but this shows how safe fabrication in China really is -
the copycats can copy hardware
but when it comes to operating systems and making systems work
they are hopeless - they have no clue how to program.

Still if I can get my hands on one will check and see if it can be rooted,
that would be worth the 100 entry fee anyway.

Exactly what I was hoping from the chinese market ever since android started with all open OS, no royalty. There came Meizu and went because of apple claiming they stole their design (still cannot find that much similarity in it).
Now I am hoping that some chinese manufacturer would hire a coder and get some meego on these kirf models and if it does well, very well could get the design ideas from the community (there are lot of people who would like to design for ONLY FUN). [here is to the hope]
Edit:
I cannot find an article that I read about a month ago about some chinese local company designed CPU and GPU which is comparatively same as OMAP4 and would cost high volume manufacturers of phones and tablet a fraction of the price that TI would charge. Will try to look for it or if someone knows what I am looking for thanks for posting.

Still see some fed about the snapdragon. I still cannot put qualcom and Nokia together in Nokia's high-end product, my mind keeps steering me to Nokia and ARM.
