What’s made in China and looks like an iPod Shuffle? Well, other than the iPod Shuttle (Designed in Cupertino, Made in China), the Morestar MP270 is the latest rip-off to reportedly improve on the shuffle experience with the addition of a 7 color LCD screen, MP3 and WMA support, FM radio and recorder, voice recorder and still maintains a 12-hour battery life. USB 2.0 transfer is also supported.
This brings to mind the Luxpro EZ Tangent (aka SuperShuffle). I had an opportunity to play with one of these a little while ago and it was ok. The addition of an LCD and WMA support were very welcome additions, however I’m generally not a big fan of solid-state devices unless I’m at the gym. And you can forget devices with out a display for listening to Podcasts- I’m not memorizing the show # of Adam Curry’s The Daily Source Code (which he announces at the beginning of each). Hey Adam- how about giving us the date of the Podcast so we can scan through? Same goes for all of you Podcast providers out there.

Sean, I have the date at the start of the show just after the station message. Is that what you mean?
Bingo. Thanks!
I assume you mean "Shuffle" rip off, not "Shuttle" ?
