Fake iPods...

Unbelievable but interesting story on MacBidouille about a fake iPod
allegedly found in Thailand and manufactured in
China.
The counterfeiters have clearly gone to a lot of effort, copying the anodized casing, Apple logo and so on. On closer inspection however, it doesn't look quite right and unfortunately there's no pictures of it running. I'd love to have seen what software they've put in it... Probably some knock off 'Super Lucky Happy Music Player' junk, but it would have been cool to see it.
I'm not really sure who the pirate copy is aimed at, coolness aside, the main reason most people buy iPods is because they're so damn nice to use. You can guess just by the crazy layout of the scroll wheel (compare it to yours...) that this one won't be.
