NASD's NS-2010 PMP inexplicably sports Mercedes-Benz logo

It's not like we've never seen a Mercedes-Benz logo on a gadget before, but seeing the brand's icon splashed on a low-end Chinese PMP is just... awkward. Nevertheless, it's practically a foregone conclusion that MB had absolutely nothing to do with this one, but NASD Technology still felt the need to plaster the auto maker's tri-star symbol on its utterly heinous NS-2010. If you care to know, the unit sports a two-inch color display, SD expansion slot, support for MP4 / MP3 / WMA / AVI files, voice recording, FM tuner, line-in recording and a rechargeable Li-ion. By now, you shouldn't be surprised by the undisclosed price, but we'd suggest just letting this one be after you've had your laughs.

funny thing is that lately Benz's electronics are worse than what you find in such Chinese PMP's. Almost every Merc-owner I know has their car(s) - the Mercs of course - more in the repair center than in their own garage...

That player is heinous? :/

I admit it's not the "absolute best" looking PMP i've ever seen, but nothing about this PMP is "heinous" in my opinion. I actually kinda like the Benz logo. heh

I am a little confused by the single volume button tho... But a decent looking compact PMP with SD expansion and mini-usb? What the heck is there to "laugh" about? are we laughing because on the surface it already looks better and has more preferred features than many of the big name-brand players available in the states? or am I missing something?

Of course it's heinous. This is Engadget and it's not made by Apple. Don't you pay attention?

its heinous because its copying MB's logo.
do you know what heinous means?

Touche. Using MB's logo is bogus... if that is in fact what they are doing... based on the picture, it appears to look pretty similar. I guess I didn't really read the article that way. As far as we know, it could be a coincidence that the 3-way button looks like a MB logo...

Maybe I shot from the hip a lil bit there... but it is annoying how every player that isn't name brand is immediately trashed in these articles.
