Chinese iPod knockoffs

By Laurie A. Duncan

This isn't the first blatant and bad iPod knockoff, and it won't be the last. But I still get such a kick out of seeing these, I just had to share.

This "ipod" sports a badly fitted usb connector, a poor imitation of the iPod UI, says "Designs by Appls California" on the back, has 512MB of memory and plays "AMV," MP3 and MP4 files. The iPod nano-style box it comes in (1st gen, natch) is apparently a better fake than the "ipod" itself.

It can be yours for only 12 Euro if you find yourself wandering through an electronics store in China.
