LuxPro Introduces Cheaper Shuffle, same looks, more features
http://www.mp3newswire.net/stories/5...ershuffle.html
It's an iPod Shuffle with voice recorder and FM tuner built in. Same white earbuds.
I bet you it's even made in the same Taiwanese factory that builds the Shuffle.
T-Minus 8 seconds till they get sued..
3...2...1

I saw an article about that thing at MacCentral the other day. I think they are probably - totally - f.u.b.a.r.

I donno, I'd buy one.
Everyone would think I paid $150 when in reality I paid much less and am secretly recording their envy. Hopefully I can buy one before Apple gets their ninjas in rainbow-colored Gi's to sever some limbs.
Or if LUXPRO is simply looked to muscle into a position as an Apple OEM manufacturer...

Wonder if this would cause Apple to add these features to a 2G iPod Shuffle...?!?

I don't see why not, as long as it plays encrypted AAC.
Without itunes smart playlists etc, is this actually going to be anywhere near as useable?

Who cares, I can see the songs when the drive is mounted, unlike those DRM lovin Apple devices. Plus it has better features, it's a winner in my book, it finishes off what Apple was to cheap to give. Anybody know where I can buy one?

Cool thanks, I'm not so mad about this. The device is cheaper and better then Apples offering. I hope they get a way with it as I doubt highly it would take much business away from Apple.

The report is that it's also slghtly larger than the iPod Shuffle.
But same weight.
there are voice recording pens that cost $200 that only do 10 seconds
I played with the super shuffle, While the idea is cool of adding an FM radio and recorder. It just works like crap. It really does, FM radio, scan through only. Constantly skipped through and wouldn't stop when i wanted to. No room for a real attenna so coverage is as good as those free fm radios they give out for promotions that never actually pick up any stations. What's worse is the voice recorder. I recorded a 10 second memo. which then mysteriously couldn't be taken off the supershuffle. They claimed software would used to decode the format of it.
