Faked iPod Nano

I found this knock off iPod Nano at Taobao, Mr. Ma Yun’s company. Note his big baby Alibaba is preparing for the IPO in Hongkong later this year.

It appears to me this “grey market iPod” looks very much like the real one; and it has its own market, because fashion-chasing teenagers in China want the iPod feeling without breaking their wallet. The asking price is 460 Yuan, note the real iPod nano is about 1,800 Yuan.

I know some of you (Apple shareholders) will not feel happy. Now you can understand how I felt when I saw people buying or wearing knockoff Crocs, as I’m a CROX shareholder :-)
