Guest Stuge Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 They are just like twin brothers .See here: The Apple iPod nano is the new role model for MP3 player for OEM companies in Asia.Today I received an offer to buy some of the MoonBow Technology super slim mp3 players.The iPod nano look-alike measures 90x40x7mm, which are very similar to the measurements of the iPod nano.This iPod nano knock-off features a 1.5 inch color OLED display, FM-Tuner, WMA, MP3 audio playback, AMV video playback, Voice recorder, photo viewer and a Tetris game.No word on how much flash memory it can have. Even if a company would decide to buy and market those players, they will have an issue getting reasonable priced flash memory to beat Apples prices on 2GB and 4GB iPod nano players.So what will happen is that some 256MB, 512MB and 1GB iPod nano knock-offs will be available in the next month.Taken from New iPod nano Knock-Off from Chinahttp://mp3aware.com/news/real-fake-msc-din...nano-clone.htmlCompany name who making this player is MSA & Its player name is MSC Dino A..Now its Interesting to See what Apple do ???http://shopping.rediff.com/shop/productdis...20player_searchSomeone is selling them here..

Dinko Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 There was another company from Taiwan that came up with a very similar clone calling it the iBob or something like that.That's probably what happens when you subcontract to third party suppliers. You give them all the technology and they beat you at your own game because the Nano has no video, no WMA playback, and no radio. The Nano probably has better battery life than the clones, but that's it.DAPReview had a page some time ago showing off a bunch of clones from China. There were knock-offs of the Sony Perfume Bottle/Stick Walkman series too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
