- mancat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I wouldn't be surprised if it's better than the real thing.
- Malakin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2At least it records and has an FM tuner :)
- lokithefirst, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1So, is it cooler to hate my iPod because it's so popular, or love it because of it's quality of construction, interface, features & functionality? I can never figure that out!! I just want to be cool!!
Please help me!! - geminitojanus, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4LOL I'm a retarded digg reader. I don't realize MP4 (or AAC by any other name) is actually a valid audio codec, one which is actually supported by iTunes/iPod and used in every song purchased from iTMS.
Wish this site would grow up... - blurtheimage, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1In other news, Jonathan Ive, designer of the ipod slight his wrists after seeing this strory...
- drn666, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"OMFG it plays MP4s"
"LOL that's ***** great... mp4 player with FM tuner lol"
"if it can play mp4.... another story another time"
MP4 is probably what they are calling AAC... no surprises there. - broken, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Oh whoa, I've seen that. Infact my friend owns one, well not the "iPod" one but that very MP3 Player labelled differently.
- psyonide, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I bet you some sap would pay $400 for it on eBay.
- Raithmir, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I've got one... As cliff says above they are OEM and I've seen several on ebay with slightly different markings. Got mine on ebay for £9.99 (plus £20 shipping from HK). Not had time to play with it yet as I'm at work, but it's 512MB, much smaller in size than a standard iPod. And by MP4 they mean that it plays MPEG4 video, which doesn't actually seem to be the case but I've not had chance to try yet. I think the supplied software converts MPEG4 video into another format (MTV??) for playing on the device.
Got it as an additional present for my girlfriend who wanted a small and more importantly, pink, mp3 player... and I've already spent enough already on other presents so I'm not buying an iPod! :) - BugMeNot2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'd rather have an iPod Invisa.
- zenghost, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0haha i wonder how much its worth?
- mike_p, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0LOL that's ***** great... mp4 player with FM tuner lol
- gamabunta, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0knockoffs of popular items are a multi-million dollar business. nothing new here.
- AnotherName, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0what's with the advertisement in your post EmileVictor ?
- Tobey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wow! I would never know the difference!
- zigziggityzoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"The advertised feature list of this product is clearly far superior to iPod's overpriced piece of *****."
superior? This thing has "made in China by sweat shop labor" all over it. And besides, in case you didn't know, the iPod plays mp4 just fine. it's called Apple Lossless, or AAC.
I'd also like to see you try and put songs on the thing. From the packaging, you can obviously see all the software included, cords too! Oh wait, nope, it comes with jack squat. Oh, and I bet it's got the great iTunes interface, so you can organize all your music? Nope. Oh, and the music store, right? No.
Talk about superior. - amigiac, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Just watch Apple steal it's extra features, "Apple anounce Ipod recorder with FM tuner" but theirs wont allow you to record radio. =^)
- airdoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0someone should make a website with pictures of all of the fake electronics, oh the hilarity! who would fall for that?
- aldaden, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Is it this?

- zecreven, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hey, I live in Istanbul.. Where can I buy them ? :P
- SuperSloth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0You know, I didn't see it at first, but then I was like "Oh snap! It is Tahoma! LOL!!!".
- CLIFFosakaJAPAN, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0aldaden...
I think you did indeed find it. The links show that this is originally a Chinese made product and this OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) allows for the stamping of a 3rd party company name or label; thus the "iPod" logotype... - mostman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Someone explain to me why everyone demands an FM tuner capable ipod. Here in the States - FM is all but useless. If you have an MP3 player with a lot of storage - what would be the point.
I just don't get it. Perhaps XM or Sirius - but FM? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1"They would see MP4 and know 4 > 3. So it must be better than an Ipod that only plays MP3s LOL"
MP4 actually IS better, you stupid ***** moron.
The advertised feature list of this product is clearly far superior to iPod's overpriced piece of *****. Unfortunately, unlike with a real iPod, this thing would probably break REALLY easily, or has considerably less storage space (maybe a hundred megs tops). - coolgeek61813, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0from the people that made the Neodouble comes the new and improved ipod
- SamLachance, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0lol amaizing +digg
- stolenpass, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"MP4 actually IS better, you stupid ***** moron."
WoW did your mom not tell you that she loved you as a child?
Someone tell captain obvious to pull his head out of his ass. If you read what I said I was referring to the Uninformed consumer.
But literacy isn't really one of your strong points is it. ;) - SubZ3r0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0rofl this is great IPOD in huge letters then again thats no worse then everyone calling there mp3 players nano I guess confusing retarded parents in to thinking its an apple product.
- trqy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I don't believe this iPod fake sold in Istanbul. I also live in Istanbul and had never seen such a fake anywhere.
(to CLIFFosakaJAPAN): Tell me the address, if you can i'll go there and see that with my own eyes. I still don't believe you. - CLIFFosakaJAPAN, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"trqy"....you'll have to ask David Jenkins; the guy who contributed the story to the Inquirer. He's the one who claims to have spotted this in Istanbul.
- davetcg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0LOL you can put it on your keychain!
- noamsml, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Who cares if it's fake? I'd prefer a (probably cheap) fake with an FM player and recorder over the original anytime.
- zoltan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0if it can play mp4.... another story another time
- il0vemymac, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It's because iPods dont look that ugly that they are the most successful digital music players on the planet.
- matx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I want one!
- aacidusX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0these are all around. there have been knock off for ages. especially in thrid world countries...
- Linuxrocks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0MP4/ FM/ REC wow sounds better than the iPod. But it's a lot uglier. But hey it's probably 350 dollars cheaper.
- mwong, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It sounds ok... but the audio might suck and it will probably fall apart after the 3rd song
- stolenpass, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"MP4 is probably what they are calling AAC... no surprises there."
I thought it was funny because they're playing on ignorant consumers who wouldn't know that. They would see MP4 and know 4 > 3. So it must be better than an Ipod that only plays MP3s LOL. :P - nickster, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I agree with you geminitojanus.
- Stopher, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Looks fine to me. =P
- haochi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0The real ipod doesn't have the IPOD on it.
- Elxx, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0This is probably cheaper and better than the actual iPod, with more features and less crashing. Go figure.
- code_of_life, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0if it does what it specifies , then it could be even better than the iPod.
They should have thought of a different product name though. - whiteV6, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0this is freaking funny
- breakneckridge, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0haha
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0i love the genuine apple click wheel
http://www.frontlinetech.blogspot.com - rowanjl, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Duplicate story...
Ok people, when you submit an article it shows similar articles, how the frick did CLIFFosakaJAPAN manage to miss the other articles linking to exactly the same page? - EmileVictor, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0Ergh. lol. Have you seen those fake iPods that are just empty mp3 player cases?
