The fake Shuffle is new to me. However, isn't the 'fake iPod Nano' the MP4 player that people are interested in?

Wow, its actually quite hard to tell the fake from the genuine at first glance... But of course upon clearer inspection, the difference becomes more noticeable...

Hehehe, not just you my friend... The US and Europe also dislike them for creating unfair competitive advantage due to the PRC's low prices (especially for labor)...

And also the freaggin' many bootleg stuff that seem to come out from there, in addition to cheap-cost originals!

The nano i'd say its not "fake" but just "lookalike". Its easily distinguishable. But buyers ought to be careful with the shuffles. They're really unsuspecting at first glance...

Actually they are what we category as S1 Mp3 Player

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S1_MP3_Player

and guess what the lastest firmware name for that type of so called "Ipod nano" It`s "APPLE NANO" version 3.35 somtin i guess.

It`s not an Mp4 Player becoz it can only play u call amv (some sort of mtv codec for china).

P/S: I bought it about Rm300 for 1gb haha so far so good.

yup,
PRC has been working very hard to emerge as an industrial nation an to pull itself out of the slump. besides, they are a strong marketing nation as the demand is high in their country due to high population

i think those who bought the fake one is so apple wannabe lorrrrrrrr..... no offence but i just hate it if they still "show off" like they own a genuine ipod, sure kena laff kao kao.
Its like having to drive a merc on the road but with the different badge from some dodgy chinese manufacturer and the driver still thinks he own a merc.. hoha!
i wonder if the earbuds comes exactly like the same ?
