So do any of these fake iPods (and this is the first I've seen that actually dares to include the Apple apple) actually work with iTunes?
Are they supposed to convince the buyers that they're the real deal or just "impress" the friends of the buyer?
How do they get away with this. I know it's Asia but they're freaking using Apple Logo!!!
Can't Apple do anything?
Wow
Heck, if nothing else you get a 256M mp3 player for $120. I could care less if it playes iTunes.
Aside from that, if it Apple doesn't come out with a Terrabyte iPod mini, then it's probably fake anyway.
jeez, engadget--everything is an ipod knockoff with you. just because it is an mp3 player with a circular button scheme, an apple icon and the word 'ipod' on it.
thank god they finally did away with that stupid touch wheel. good job steve!
Nick, why do you need to be racial about all this?
I own one of these. It's actually a Coby (I'll get the model number if anyones's interested, but it's not listed on coby's website.
It playes native most sound files (ogg, mp3, wma, etc.), it displays jpegs just fine, and comes with a converter to change most video files into a proprietory format .dmv.
Mine doesn't have the ipod logo but the rest of it is identical. I got the 512mb version for $99.00 at my college bookstore.
lol, why'd you even buy one?

Maybe it's a knock-off Coby? :D
debra, all that was said was a character description (cheap), where they are geographically (asian) and a reference to their parents' marital status (bastards).
Get off you politically-correct high horse.
Apple will do something about it - someone has to make them, they'll be tracked down and spoken to. Probably :)
is there a free i-pod your giving off?
what's the least expensive i-pod ur selling nowadays?
i seen these in china back in november 2005. they were about 300yuan which is about 40 dollars i still have one. one stall sold them with and ipod logo and the other with a sony logo. lol
these are actullay mp4 players also but only come with 256 or 512 memory. i seent ehm in chinas silk market
rofl
Debra, what, people from asia arent asian?
Id be willing to bet $100 that youre a liberal.
Nick, "Dissent" (real edgy):
You sound like morons trying to explain your racist comments, and then you double-up by trying to insult the person that calls you on it. I bet you're a....jackass?
Take the hint, and try not to be an offensive little twit, it might lead to a bit of positive growth for you.
