iPod Shuffle Lookalike Hits CeBIT

Posted by timothy on from the same-trade-dress-to-the-prom dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It shouldn't be long before Apple's legal team goes after this one. LuxPro out of Taiwan introduced the Super Shuffle at CeBit, a look-a-like portable that is identical to the iPod Shuffle right down to the sihouette ads, but with the addition of an FM tuner and voice recording."

    4. Don't call it 'Shuffle'

    5. Don't target your advertising at pretentious wannabes using silhouettes of idiots dancing to world music so that people who don't want to look like fashion victims will still consider using one

    6. Don't package it with shitty proprietary software that automatically sends you to buy music from the same company that makes the hardware and installs multiple useless services that run all the time in Windows XP

    I think we're starting to get to quite a decent little MP3/MP4 player between us...

    They copied the F@#$#$ headphones. I wonder if it comes with a shuffle manuel, or did they have to make that themselves?
