We’ve all seen a ton of iPhone mockups over the past four years, but what if a company actually brought one of these mockups to market…I mean, other than Apple of course.  This appears to be Bestpower’s model.  The Shenzhen-based company passed what appears to be an iPhone mockup circa 2006 through the FCC last week, complete with iPod interface and rounded iPod-like design.

The device, known as the Bestpower X200, rocks quad-band GSM support, a 320 x 240 touch screen, FM radio, still and video camera, and ‘advanced Yamaha audio chipset.’  The X200 has up to 15 hours of talking time and 120 hours of standby.

There’s little chance that the X200 will make it to the States, however the phone does have English characters and an English interface and support for US GSM bands, suggesting that the device may be available through wireless importers.

LG passed a svelte netbook called the X20 through the FCC today.  The Windows 7 device weighs only about 2.6 pounds (1.2 kg) with a 4 cell battery, and sports a 10.1” 1366 x 768 TFT color LCD screen, Intel Atom N450 processor, Intel 3150 GMA graphics, up to 2GB of RAM, 1.3 MP web cam, Bluetooth and HSPA 3G.

The user manual for the X20 indicates that the netbook will be released in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, China, India, Korea and Singapore.  The test report for the device shows several model numbers for the X20, including X200, XB200, XD200 and XV200 – we’d guess that these various model numbers are for different regions.  No word on pricing or a release date.

Update:  The Intel Atom in the X20 is a N450, 1.66 GHz processor according to test reports.  We have also confirmed 802.11 b/g/n WiFi and a 250GB 2.5” HDD, although the size of the HDD likely varies.

We don’t have exact measurements for the X20, but by eyeballing external photos of the device we’re estimating that it measures about 6.7” x 11” (170mm x 280mm).

A closeup of the X20’s keyboard reveals chiclet-style keys and a relatively small trackpad.
