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."

    Will be the fanboi's reaction to this.

    It will affirm:

    1) The shuffle is only in the lineup to cover the low-end

    2) the FM radio is a good idea

    And once you guys wake up from your trance, you'll say "it really should have had a display"

    But for now, start foaming away that someone dares to look like an ipod shuffle. Good grief.

    From the MP3Newswire article

    "So if you are interested in an faux iPod Shuffle I expect they will soon fill those Asian consumer electronics stores along Broadway in NY. You know, the ones that have had the 'Going Out of Business' sign posted in their window for 20 years straight."

    What about mattress stores? Are they also all owned
    by Asians?
