    New iPod Nano Already Cloned?

    VS.  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

    The little gadget was bootleg gold, a secret treasure I'd spent months tracking down. The miniOne looked just like Apple's iPhone, down to the slick no-button interface. But it was more. It ran popular mobile software that the iPhone wouldn't. It worked with nearly every worldwide cellphone carrier, not just AT&T, and not only in the U.S. It promised to cost half as much as the iPhone and be available to 10 times as many consumers. The miniOne's first news teases-a forum posting, a few spy shots, a product announcement that vanished after a day-generated a frenzy of interest online.

    I wanna know where I can search to buy some of these knock-offs. If it offers virtually the same or better quality/features then I dont care that its a knock off so long as it works. Anyone know of any good sites to go shopping on? Hit me up if you do! :D
