Well, as promised here is the review.
First I was shocked from the delivery time. I bought it in Sunday 25 February, and this morning Thursday 1 March the mailman delivered the pack allready. I guess that is a new Ebay Hong Kong record.
First impression is good, even very good. These Chinese guys can really copy anything now. They pack the fake shuffle in a real fake fancy Apple plastic box.
In the box there is a Shuffle player, the usual unreadable users manual, a 3.5mm!!! headset and a 3.5mm to USB cable.
The appearance of the shuffle player is extremely good, nice green anodised aluminum, the clip works good and the control buttons are easy to use, they respond very good.
Then the problem started, my Windows XP computer won't recognise the device. I will try to solve the problem later, if somebody has any suggestions??. Lucky me, I also have a Apple iMac at home. I plugged it in and it was recognised right away. I could tranfert the songs very easy and the shuffle player works perfect.
The sound quality is very good, clear sound, I used the Skullcandy headset.
So, the general impression is very good, the fake Shuffle player is a nice and cute gadget. I paid 38 Euro for it. That is 10 Euro more than I would pay for a FMP from Uxcell. I am shure that the price will drop soon because there will be more on offer on Ebay soon. Untill now, I only found 2 Ebay seller who offer this mp3 player, and one German Ebay seller was offering a 2 GB version, not shure it is real capacity or hacked.. Considering the Apple price from 89 Euro, for something that is 95% similar, I would say that the real rip-off is for sale in the Apple shop.
