iPhone clone seller shutdown
April 23rd 2008
Red Ferret reports that Apple stopped Digital Playworld from importing and selling Chinese-made iPhone clones in the UK.
"So after all the costs and losing stock, I am as good as broke now!" said Simon Rimmer, managing director, Digital Playworld, adding that Apple "came at me all guns blazing, big bully boy tactics."
The company, in order to avoid court and settle, was forced to give up its inventory, supplier details, prices paid for them, numbers imported, marketed and sold.
Editor's note: Is anyone, Digital Playword aside, surprised. This likely the first of many shutdowns...
