Am I in China Phone Market or IT Fair ??

As usual, we passed by Mutiara Complex, Jln Ipoh and noticed there was unusual traffic on the stretch. Oh.. there was a IT fair and it was not the first time it is organised. Perhaps it is a good idea to promote the Complex and attract more crowds. I was there to look for the Taylor who can help me to stitch school badge on my kids uniform. Then, I spent 5 minutes dropped by at the IT fair and expecting to see the latest IT gadgets. Surprisingly, I was smashed with "iPhone" and with many banners with hand written "Buy 1, Free 1".

I was asking myself since when the iPhone was so popular till almost all the shops are selling iPhone and so many potential customers surround for enquiry. Think twice, it's odd and before that, I was told by my colleague that the China's made intimated iPhone was introduced recently. The offerred price RM388 reaffirm that indeed those that the China version of iPhone.

They look very much the same but I'm confident that the genuine iPhone is much powerful. I hope our China phone maker can be more innovative and creative rather copy someone else design and idea. Copycat is not the way forward for sure !!! Save the energy and our reputation.
