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...

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.

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 ? |

QUOTE(fillet @ Apr 24 2006, 02:13 PM) 1gb nano??? yes. the 1gb version already in the market for 2 months.. sure??? because when i was in Japan DEC 2005... the only ones available were 2gb and 4gb.... ...... please refer to apple site http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/ I think the fake ipod nano can be easily identified. coz the click wheel and the screen are different. the fake ipod has a long screen while the original ipod has a wide screen.. the center click wheel of the fake ipod is a play and pause button while the ori one is not. However for ipod shuffle.. if you look at it from the front view.. you wont know whether is it a fake one or a original.. they look identical.. i seen one before. |

There are many fakes out there. You can even find them on Lelong. I PM-ed one of the sellers who was selling 'iPod Shuffle' and 'Ipod nano' and told him to stop misleading buyers.
They look alike but aren't the same thing. Mostly from China. China really don't give a rat's ass about copyright or intellectual rights. Power to the copiers man! |
