Of all of the trends in the International Hall at CES, one of the most prevalent and perhaps least surprising was the sheer volume of iPod knockoffs. I saw a lot of fascinating innovation too, but it was tough not to be distracted by the amount of engineering work that is going into the creation of copyright-infringing discount-electronic-store fodder.
Those looking for the next oPod or iPid will find a choice selection of devices after the jump.
I think they are great! After all, where do you think the Ipods are made? All you're paying for with an Ipod is the fruit logo and then you're married to Itunes, forever! So what if the little dial doesn't act like a wheel! It still works. All these people are doing is making a product and selling it for a reasonable price! Do you think it costs anymore to make an Ipod?
