    If I were Jonathan Ives I would be pissed, he should want to defend and protect the rights to his design. Apple should take issue with this.

    It is hard to do that, but they did it with that iMac rip-off, and they won with good reason

    There is no greater form of flaterry (?spelling) than imitation.



    It indicates how innovative and successful the iPod is.

    Agreed, however the ripoffs are half the price with twice the feature set. Apple started the trend but they won't finish it.

    The news about this unit was posted a few months ago on various news sites. The general response seemed to be that it would be a bargain if it actually existed but it was more than likely vapourware and/or a con.



    Nothing in the story above makes it seem any more real to me. Did you check out the classy web site it links to? Cheap and cheerful to say the least.

The only way to "win" in consumer electronics is to build better and more innovative products. If this product ever appears, Apple's response will speak volumes about whether they understand what releasing the iPod has gotten them into.

    Er, this exact knock-off was discussed on this board a while back.

    There's another knock off from Samsung as well.
