Meet HTC HERO clone – TigerG3 – runs Android OS!

Till now, they have been busy cloning various netbooks but now, it looks like they are also focusing on churning out clones of popular phones too. Meet the TigerG3, a HTC HERO clone. Just like HTC HERO, the TigerG3 has a 3.2-inch display and sports a resolution of 400×240 resolution. It even has WiFi, 1.3MP camera and support for popular video formats.

Weight-wise, it is infact lighter than the HTC HERO. Hero weighs 135gm whereas the TigerG3 weighs just 107gm. Of course, it costs way less than the original one: $140 only.
