Nano and Touch for Under 100 Bucks

Do you know that you can buy a Nano in Indonesia for under 30 bucks and a Touch for under 100 bucks? You really can, I swear to God! The only problem is they're assembled in China, designed by Apple in California some surreptitious Chinese company. If plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery, then these guys have no problem flaunting their honesty.

The alleged 2nd and 3rd generation Chinese Nano. Don't expect the scroll wheel to work like the real thing. The less you pay, the less you get. But you gotta hand it to them, the similarity is abundant.

Now for the Touch, what they fail in software and hardware they make up yet again in appearance. The resemblance is uncanny. China, the Xerox center of the world. Mix it up with Indonesia, the authentic land of the free, and you'll see these products in shopping malls. Side by side with their Chinese-Californian counterparts.
