The reason why people buy clones is not because they are "more advanced" than apple's range, but simply because it is cheap, and it does the job. That's all.
There will still be people whom are apple fans, and there will still be people whom are mpx fans. For sure, i'm no apple fan nor mpx fan. But whichever offers the better value-for-money factor would definitely earn my dollar.

Probably it was so in the beginning...
"Everyone in the world knows that the nano clones
WAS copied ipod nanos. Fact."
But the "clones" have overpassed the expectancies created by Apple iPod. Cheap machines are delivering extra functionalities in a level of quality that is constantly growing. It's just a matter of time to reach the levels of quality that iPod still have... without their restrictive habits.
On the other hand, to say "more advanced" is not so wrong as you think, I invite you to take a look to brands like Ainol, Archos, Oppo to mention some. You just take a look to Archos AV700 and you'll see that the highest product of Apple get pale with this marvel. Anyway is not a bargain... it cost twice than an Apple iPod, but technologically is lots of steps ahead.
Concerning this overrated "phenomenon" which is iPhone... gosh!!... by the way cell phones and PDAs where developing... the guys of Apple just give a small step and take advantage of their name to create this product. In this aspect Apple have not invented anything... they just put the logo to something that sooner or later would appear.
Again... it's just a matter of time... as Apple knows themselves... reducing their prices by US$ 200.- making thousands of fans wear the hat of a donkey.
