Attack of the Clones

Attack of the Clones
Computer Supermarket MP4 Player
When Apple tossed the iPod Mini out in favor of the Nano, Computer Supermarket apparently hopped in the Dumpster and fished it out. Before it was taken down off of the company's site -- after a cease and desist letter from Apple, no doubt -- the player was said to pack enough storage space for 1,000 tracks as well as an FM tuner and even video playback capabilities.

SC-MP001W
Another repurposed Apple castaway, the SC-MP001W from SunConnection Japan squares up the iPod Shuffle's old design and opts for removable SD or MMC memory instead of flash. First noticed on the Internet last year for the low low price of $26, the SC-MP001W is still up on SunConnection's site -- though our Japanese isn't good enough to tell if it's still for sale or not.

Go Stereo Mini Auto Scan FM Radio
An iPod for just five dollars? It can't be . . . it is! Only this iPod doesn't have any storage space for MP3s or video, and we're guessing that screen is nothing more than a decal. Syncing up with iTunes is probably out of the question, too. What this bad boy does have, however, is a rockin' FM radio and a pair included ear buds.
