The $20.00 iPod

A friend of mine proudly waltzed up to me to brag about her new iPod. Yeah, obviously an imitation from China but if you think about the package for a minute, it may actually be a good buy. For $20.00 you get the following:
# The “iPod unit which is slightly bigger than the new iPod shuffle
# 128MB of memory
# USB connectivity
# Voice recording function (since there’s no expandable memory I assume this records directly to MP3 format)

So 128MB of memory can’t really hack it. I just found these “genuine imitations” really funny.
