When the boys at Engadget aren’t fellating themselves in a sea of smugness and narcissism, they call call these sort of posts ‘Keepin it Real Fake’. Well keep suckin’ Engadget, we beat you to it this time. (just playin!) What you’re seeing here is (supossedly) a faked second generation iPod Shuffle. Pretty much every iPod to come out has been knocked off by a Chinese company, but this is the first time we’ve seen a fake before the real one is even released to the public. My girl in Hong Kong relayed this pic to me from an as yet unnamed Chinese gadget forum . I can’t personally vouch for the validity of it and I can’t read Mandarin; but here’s the pic nonetheless.
Wow. Quite interesting really. Why not get your girl to send one over, and do a Real vs Fake post? Would be quite a good read i think.
Man, Apple will be so pissed when they see this.
Um…as someone pointed out to me, it looks like an iPod radio remote with her thumb covering the cord.
i think ilounge will be pissed off that you used an image from there site without credit.

Well, just so you all know, I checked out the website that hello posted, and TFS is right. It is the radio and the new shuffle. Really, I don’t think that the Chinese would reproduce one that is pretty different. First of all, it isn’t coated in aluminum, and the edges are more rounded. Do you really think they could really pass this as a fake? I hate to burst all your bubbles, but the new shuffle didn’t come out yet, the picture from your girl in Hong Kong is actually from the url in hello’s comment, and the Chinese as far as I know haven’t produced a fake second generation shuffle yet.
srry. but the truth remains the truth
Yeah. Thats bullshit.
Its a remote.
obviously thats an iPod shuffle 2G and an iPod radio remote dont be stupid
deffinately a remote…
hate to bursts everyones bubble, that is not a remote. I bought 12 of these from http://www.dhgate.com at 20 bucks a piece thinking I could sell them on ebay for around 60. Its a flash drive mp3 player that has ipod written all over it.
that white shuffle is real. it aint a remote. my friend has one exactly like that. its jus an MP3 wit iPod written all over it
yeah that looks like a apple remote. rip-off.
Yup, seen em, lots of them. I’ve seen a very similar Shuffle ripoff that was said to have 512MB of memory… Gosh, will these Chinese boys ever learn?
Hi webmaster!
The top one is a real iPod.
The bottom one is a radio/remote thingy. I tried holding it like the picture did and it looks the same.
