Ridiculous, but apparently real, shuffle clone
iPodlounge dug this up today. It IS the iPod shuffle, with an FM tuner added. I mean surely they can't legally do this, but it's a real product. They "cleverly" named it the Super shuffle."

Anyone here remember the bondi blue iMac clone that ran Windows 98??
Needless to say if it hits the market it'll get violated like a ticking Lada parked in front of the Whitehouse. Nothing to see here folks, move along.
I'm not advocating it, just wondering..

Does the delict (tort) of goodwill passing off apply in the US? It can do in the UK and has been applied where people haven't taken out a patent. I'd assume that Apple has a patent on the design anyway though? Surely.
