It’s the year 2010, and by now, used Game Boy Advances have dropped down to dirt cheap prices, as well as the games for them. Has that stopped companies from still releasing this LCD crap? Absolutely not!
–I’ll be on vacation for the next week. So if you message me or leave a question for me in the form of a comment, I may not see it for a week. Don’t miss me too much!–
You know what makes me sad? When people come into Radioshack with MP3 players like this, and they think that it really is an iPod, and I just don’t have the heart to tell them it’s not.
Ok, so at work today, I had a customer looking for headphones for their iPod that they bought for their kid. They said that although it came with headphones when they bought it online (uh oh, bad sign right there), the headphones did not fit. It turns out although the headphones were right, they’re a MAD snug fit. Like, I had to jam a pair of ours in there, and I swear I thought I was breaking it.
Anyway, onto the “iPod.” It look almost exactly like a 4th gen. nano. The similarities:
-Same length and width
-Same oval shape
-Headphone jack (and connector which looks a lot like an official connector) in the right spots
-Click wheel very official looking
That’s about it. NOW, the differences:
-Although screen outline is the same size, the screen itself is smaller
-Is just a tad thicker
-Switch on top is an on-off switch, not a hold switch
-Had “iPod” logo on back, but all words on the back were in a plain Arial font
What sucks is that I couldn’t get a look at the interface of the “iPod,” and it’s sadder that I don’t think the mom knew it was a fake. I’m just curious if anyone has any info on this MP3 player. Can anyone shed any light on this?
