Start 'em young with a jailbroken iPhone toy

Ask any parent, and they will tell you that you need to start your kids young and surround them with toys to stimulate their development. There is no better toy for the next generation saurik or geohot than the not-so-creatively named "Smart Phone" toy fresh out of China.

Why is this phone so perfect for budding anti-DRM enthusiasts? The toy cell phone features an array of iPhone application icons, including one for the renegade Cydia application repository, enabling young jailbreakers to get their first taste of unofficial apps even before the apps actually work. Thanks to the good folks in China, this "Smart Phone" has been jailbroken prior to shipment and is available in dollar stores for your child's ~~indoctrination~~ enjoyment.

My kids got one of these in their $1 grab bag from my parents. Basically, they fill a bag up with $1 store crap and hide $1. When they find it, they get $50 from my dad. I never looked at the fake phone but now that i did, its exactly like this image. wow

You know it's a fake iPhone because the clock works.

If you look closely it's "Tunes" and not "iTunes."

Ah, you're right! I stand corrected!

I like how iPod and Safari have no labels and App Store is just called "Store" (trademark issues?) but iTunes is printed right on there and all the icons are used. It's like they only wanted to violate SOME of Apple's intellectual property rights. :D
