Can’t afford the $750 or so required to pick up a Nokia N95 right now? Fret not, as the Chinese knockoff factories have been workin’ overtime in order to crank out a somewhat similar alternative to fit the bill. The E-PDA V16 comes in a bit larger than the authentic iteration and includes a three-inch QVGA touchscreen, three-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, multimedia player, and a touch of tacky to top things off. Of course, any of your pals that are in the know won’t be impressed by your futile attempts to fool ‘em, but considering that this thing won’t cost you nearly as much coin as the real deal, it might be worth the embarrassment (or not). Catch a few more snapshots of the impostor after the jump.

Some downtime on ye ole Apple Store had folks fired up that something fresh from Cupertino might get pushed out to store shelves Monday, but the ready-to-swipe credit cards sitting in the world’s outstretched hands ended up going largely unused when Steve decided to focus more on what’s to come than what’s on sale today. No bother — at least the WWDC keynote was accompanied by an Apple.com redesign that dragged along some fresh iPhone scenery for the ride. Unless your name’s Walt, this is about as close as you’re gonna get to it before the 29th, so soak it all in.

Goodness, this is not a flattering shot of the new Ogo 2.0’s interior. That’s alright, though; it’s still better than the original, and we imagine there’s a healthy contingent of individuals out there searching the globe high and low for their now-ancient Ogo 1’s replacement. Though there’s no word on whether AT&T will breathe more life into the Ogo platform stateside, it technically possible thanks to this particular model’s quadband GSM radio plus EDGE. The addition of voice calling (a feature notoriously missing from developer IXI Mobile’s first effort) makes the device a legitimate Sidekick competitor — but if we’re to judge from looks alone, they’ve got a little ways to go yet. Check the FCC filing for some more (non-)glamor shots and the user’s manual.
