Popular in China cus they can't afford the real deal so they have to settle for second (or third) best. The thing is, they flat out show you ipod nano in first couple of pics, then the last two, like someone pointed out, you see the real thing and it looks cheap as hell. I'm happy with my IPOD video so far. 20 hour battery life, but since I end up clicking it all the time and skipping songs ect, it cuts it down to maybe 15 hours. Ipod nano should be able to beat that thing in battery life I think.
While I agree this is very cheaply made, I have to disagree with what you said. It is completely wrong. Basically, they get about 15x the number of products we get. We get a small portion of all the offerings. It's just like all the video games that never make it to the US. Say what you want, but they basically get things cheaper and have more choice. There're a lot of retail electronics, portables, cell phones, etc... over there which cost much less there than here. It's us who get the short end.
