Is there something in the water where I am, or is the OP NOT using English? I didn't understand the post at all.

I believe the poster is discussing the already discussed counterfeit
iPod shuffle units - the packaging and design looks very similar but
it is not the same.

My guess is China.


I took a look at my 20 GB iPod (monochrome...4th generation? Came out the same time as the U2 edition) I got here in the US last year and it says on the back, in part:


"Designed by Apple in California Assembled in China"

I wonder if this is what the poster saw.

Just my $0.02...

Lacking a repeat visit from the OP, we can only wonder...

I think a holly stake in the heart is in order for this thread. We really don't want it to rise from the dead...Unless the OP wants to put in another appearance and explain himself, of course.
