New iPod Nano Already Cloned?


Clone VS.  Real_3

Information on this is still sketchy, but Engadget has published a photo of a purported iPod nano clone (at left). For perspective, remember that Apple just announced the new “fatty” nano on September 5th. As PopSci reported in its September cover story, "Meet the iClone", Chinese manufacturers have became virtuosos of near-instantaneous imitation. But if this report proves true, the Nano clone appeared insanely fast even by their frenetic standards. —Sean Captain

Hey willie people copy other peoples stuff all the time its called being competitive if it wasn't for America stealing democracy from the Greeks and the industrial revolution from the Brits, or what abut all the new technology we steal from China, alot; if it wasnt for stealing you would have an ipod nano to steal so quit crying you lame loser and don't open your mouth if you don't know what your talking about

Stealing is what industry is all about, its not so much theft as it is upgrading.10 days after is realy fast for a reproduction though... they probably have spys inside of apple or something hehe.

Another issue is that... many of the clone's are even better.. and or have more functionality than the real thing... look at the iphone clone that was reported on.. if the story turns out to be true, you have a phone that for one has a replacable battery.. "probably" has better functionality AND.. it is unlocked.. (the unlocked part is really not that important anymore since the iphone was hacked)..

here in the US.. we get "stuck" with things.. you get what the manufacturer decides you get.. and they tell you "you better be happy with it".... in China, they are giving the people what the manufacturer decided not too.... so, if you want to complain.. complain to the US manufacturers and designers who either so not have enough forsight or are just too greedy.. either way... they lose..

The Chinese are going to improve the nuclear missile one of these days. Then, they can duke it out with the Japenese and the U.S. Go U.S. and Japan!

the difference here is the lawsuits. If you copy anything, you get sewed so fast that your standing on the street with you glass of lemonade still cold. Everywhere else, it's different.

Yeah willie, Shut up. Do you download music from something like limewire, or just buy off of iTunes store? That's also technically stealing!! Other than that, U.S. & Japan vs. China nuke war is a bad idea. Nobody survives a nuke untouched, except the COCKAROACHES!! WE'RE NOT COCKAROACHES!!! WE'RE HUMANS, lemme spell it for you, H-U-M-A-N-S. That and there's nothing wrong with Japan. Japan is cool. Arizona isn't.
