"you'll lick 'em next time"
lick'en? they're probably filled with lead :-P
Foxconn is manufacturing these in China, along with the iPhone. Some components are made in other countries, but Foxconn is aiming to manufacture everything internally. Usually Chinese manufacturers produce for the main company during the day and make knock offs at night. Don't slam products from China. Your iPod, TV, laptop and cell phone are probably made there. Cars are coming next year.
Yes and we all know how 'safe' those cars have been so far:

Car's for your worst enemy.
I would rather have this one than a real ipod. It has more features...
I don’t see the big deal here, this is how the world has operated since time began, one civilizations piggy backs on another, for the last 600 years the west have piggy backed on other civilizations from the east or south, taking what it needed from, Muslim Spain, Indu number system, plastic surgery techniques form Indian medical text, hydroponics from the Aztec and Incas, religions from the east, shit even cubism from African, now china is doing the same thing, man get over it sooner or later we all will be speaking Chinese. lol
The east is in the house

Guys, we found this product first. One of our writers spent three hours every day for two weeks looking for an Ipod Nano video clone. Thegadgetsite just slapped a watermark from an already watermarked product photo, and we found that photo. It wasn't even on alibaba. Just FYI. A big boo to the gadgetsite. Our link below. Hope Paul does the right thing. If he doesn't, no big deal, engadget has been really good to us. Probably not Paul's fault too. I mean, that watermark from thegadgetsite really does look juicy.

If they found it on their own but only later than us, Endgaget won't hear a squeak from me, but they'd never had without us. We had to go through pages of products to find it. You think we could just search "iPhone clone" and found the thing? It took days of backbreaking surfing. That's why I'm gritting my teeth. grrr.

I don't know who you are, but you shouldn't be questioning others' integrity like that.
From the insults and threats you've left on our site, I've actually found one interesting detail: you primary goal seems to get "links" from Engadget. That may explain the low quality website/writing that I witnessed just minutes ago.
Please consider a public apology to us. If you're too ashamed, one via email will suffice.
I'm talking about ethics. This particular post was made from two weeks of dedicatedly searching wholesalers sites. I suppose your primary goal in watermarking a product photo that already has a watermark is not to get links?
I never threatened you, just told you a universal fact believed by all Buddhists: every one, yes even you, get their just deserts.
Sorry, the grammar showing off frustration.
These things are perfect for stingy dads, (like myself) who get hassled continuously to buy their kids iPods.
These look almost the same and are so much cheaper.
And when you buy one for your kid, she will hate you for a solid month afterwards.
Yeah. Looks the same, does the same. But sounds crap. And aint cool to show off to your peers.
Making counterfeits really isn't about advancement though, it's just copying. Copying by itself is not innovation and it really unimaginative. The important part of it is extending knowledge, not tacking on tired features like crappy analog radio.
Sounds to me like someone just jammed a Creative Zen V+ into that shell.
I mean that sincerely....LOL
Always great to see how much time some people have on there hands.
their hands.
Its a good thing China's only an 8 hour flight from Melbourne
Uhhh... these things look crappy.
Cant they make fakes that at least look a bit like the originals?
These stupid things will never beat the ease of use and practicality of apple's music system.
Keepin' it real "generous", new and old, all those Industrial pollution, thanks America !!!
call me stupid but do these fake 2nd generation ipods a. work b.use itunes c.any cope
Nano knock-offs are now ebay-able, I ordered one right before I read these comments, so wish me luck, it will probably leak lead paint all over my hands and then explode five seconds later. :-)
I just returned from Beijing on vacation with my wife and son. We, of course, went shopping for "good deals" on some name brand products. I purchased a brand new in the box Ipod Nano 3rd gen. that the shop owner showed me the video on and and let me listen to the music. I took it home, put it on my computer, and......that is all I could do with it. It only has enough memory to play that small portion of a video and one song! They saw me coming a mile away man. Oh well, sometimes that happens when you go lookin for the cheap way out. Guess I'll just sell it on ebay under a fake name!!!! Just kidding......anyone want an almost new Ipod?
