Just a month ago, we made note of five iPhone Wannabes, and remarked on how closely some of them came to matching the functionality of the iPhone itself. And now, here is a link to 12 more iPhone look-alikes (with some overlap), all of them from a variety of manufacturers in China. Arguably the most interesting of the dozen are…

COOL999 – uses Windows Mobile 6.0
Hiphone – seems to have most of the basic iPhone functionality
?? (apple) iphone – a cracked iPhone running OS X, but expensive at $750.

…we’re calling imitation/flattery/coincidence/innovation…

I’d say it’s flattery. I don’t know if Steve Jobs would feel the same way, though.
