Yet another iPod rip-off

Apple may need to hire more lawyers if any other blatant iPod knock-offs sprout up. This time it's the iPod mini being plagiarized instead of the
iPod shuffle. Check out the "IPOD Mini" on the Orient Expert Technology (OET)
website.

OET's version of the real iPod mini has a 4GB hard drive, USB2.0,
support for MP3, WMA, DRM WMA, and ADPCM, line-in & voice recording, 12 hours of battery life, and sports an FM
Tuner and on-the-fly-MP3 line-in encoding.

Sorry guys, but those CAPITAL LETTERS aren't fooling anyone.

I have to wonder if some of these companies aren't doing this just for the publicity. Apple legal usually slaps them down pretty quickly and whatever (if any) money it costs them to pretend to fight the big bad Apple bullies might be money well spent if the company has other products to hawk that we might find interesting.

Then again, maybe they are just brave. Or naive. Or dumb. Or all of the above.
