The latest among the smartphones to come from China, QiGi i6 is not like the usual China products which copies the original only in looks. Instead it is a device which has got great features apart from its looks. This nicely-designed device has the ability to run either Windows Mobile 6.1 or Google’s Android OS. But it supports either Android or Win Mo 6.1 as there is no version of it available which boots from both Android  and Win Mo 6.1.
