Devil DAP scares off seekers of genuineness

At first glance, we assumed the completely misnamed Christmas MP3/MP4 player was merely a mephistophelean covering for an older iPod nano, but apparently, Putian Hengwang Trade Company put in the legwork and actually knocked off a DAP (or at least an interface) from Apple's past. This creature fittingly arrives in red or black and features 1GB, 2GB, 4GB or 8GB of storage, a 1.5- / 1.8-inch display, optional FM tuner and built-in speaker, a rechargeable Li-ion and support for MP3, WMA, WAV and ASF file formats. Sadly, there's no mention of a price, release date or pickup location, but there's a decent chance you'll find 'em awkwardly stacked up beside the Cross MP3 Player somewhere in Beijing.

That battery indicator is really bugging me...

oh, not only is that a rip off of the iPod, it is also a knock off of an ipod cover made by Japanese company.

That's what I was going to say! I think this isn't really a knock-off but someone's poor attempt at a rumour. This is simply a iPod Nano cover you can pick up anywhere in Japan (you can even get an Angel one if you so choose).

This seems fake.
Just look at the part of the screen where the title (or etc, i dont have an ipod but know it a little) should be at the top bar in the middle. That one is an - obvious - photoshop. And why is the picture quality sooo low? Think again before believing...

The cover is real, it's not a fake ipod. it's just a cover, my friend has the nano, and got that cover for it (the red one)
