The following came as a real surprise to all of us, but, other than that, it must really be a reason of pride for the Chinese manufacturer in question.

If you're not suffering from nausea, you are going to. China does some cloning again, introducing a portable media player, which shamefully rips off iPod's Nano design line and some of the key features.

There is nothing new about the fact that the Chinese media players have gone wild recently, revealing a lot of design concepts that you wouldn't even dare to think about.

This Chinese portable media player reminds me of Two-Face, the character from the movie Batman (in this case, Batman being played by the Zune). How come? Well, for starters, the media player sports a rather peculiar design, as if the manufacturers were undecided as to which patterns to addso they mixed them all. The... |

Chinese PMPs are driving me nuts. All these crazy design ideas can sometimes give you nausea. Take this, for example. Is that my grandma's homemade time machine, or a miniature photo frame made in Vietnam? No, it's the V503 PMP itself.I don't know, but the thing is it looks terrible. Some say it looks ... |

China has a very large population, the largest in the world, with more than 1.31 billion people! One huge country and a pretty well informatized one too.
