    You’re stuck in quite the conundrum. You want the chic elegance of the iPhone – but you want unbridled flexibility that comes with the Android platform. Whatever are you supposed to do?

    If you’re able to read Chinese and are absolutely insane, there’s a solution: the APhone A6. Straight out of a Chinese handset cloning workshop, the APhone A6 is built to walk the walk of Apple’s finest, but talk the talk of Google’s. Sure, the hardware looks a wee bit chunky around the edges – but it does rock a 3.5″ multi-touch display, Bluetooth, WiFi, and an ultra funky iPhone interface overhaul. Sure, it’s unlikely to ever reach US soil. Sure, it’ll probably only work for a month. It’s Android.. on an iPhone. Sort of.
