Keepin' it real fake, Part LXXXVI: iPod nano rip-off does double duty as camera

You can tell the Chinese PMP knock-off factories are getting a little bored. They're starting to mutate their typically staid, blatant thefts into something just a little bit more exciting. Enter the UE-Technology UE-M4088, a totally fresh new entry that rips off both the new iPod nano, and a generic digital camera. Of course, it has all your favorite Chinese PMP features, like a 2.4-inch LCD display, FM radio, playback of MPEG-4, ASF, MP3, WMA, WAV and MIDI files, an SD slot, and of course that 1.3-megapixel camera. The player seems to be available now, though no word on price. Finally, you can have it all... just don't let the authorities see you having it all.

Do you have any first hand experience with this product? Have you read any extensive reviews about it? No? Then STFU.

Every time Engadget mentions about Chinese product I felt so ashamed for my country. Especially this type of stuff that copy others design, has no creativity, and no quality. I can almost hear the despise words coming from the articles and response because I knew to well about fake product market, and how they still exist strongly. I can even remember what a American who truly despise Chinese race told me, "Chinese, copy cat, is gongfu the only thing you guys have?"

I want to controvert, but I cannot deny....

As we are in a country coming to globalization, racism seems to be one factor that cannot be globalize and equality treat upon individual and not as a nation.

Don't worry, China will start doing it's own thing, and well, eventually. There needs to be a shift in schools though to encourage independence and creativity and from what I know (my wife grew up in China) that is not the case yet.
