Pocket PCs Masquerade as iPods

Posted by pudge on from the i-smell-a-lawsuit dept.

agwadude writes "Wired News has a story about a British software firm called StarBrite that is selling a virtual iPod that runs on Microsoft's PocketPC operating system. It mimics the iPod interface exactly, including the unique scroll wheel. It's a mere $20 but this seems right considering it's only software, and it only supports MP3. MacDailyNews has a shorter story."

    LOL
    This is a troll right?

    That thing is 3 times the size and almost twice the weight of a 20GB iPod.

    I didn't even mention Quality - just storage/size/weight. Surely you can do better than that?

    No. Do Apple zealots always use ad-hominem attacks like that one right off the bat? Pathetic.

    I don't know, but I can tell you what *I* do. When I post a request and someone responds with something that isn't even vaguely in the ballpark I tend to think either
    1) that person's an idiot
    or
    2) that person's trolling for a fight

    Pardon me for picking the wrong one.
