You’d think that iPod knockoffs would start coming out waaay after Apple’s release of the new line, but the iPod Touch’s cheap Chinese equivalent has already been available on Amazon for a month now (July 30 to be exact). Save from the icons, it looks almost exactly like the real thing! This clone from Portronics has a 2GB internal memory, a mini-SD slot to add another 4 gigs, a 2.8 inch touch screen (320×240). It can support video, audio and image files at MP3, WMA, MPEG-4(AVI) and JPEG formats. And it even has some features that the iPod Touch doesn’t have: a built-in speaker, FM tuner, and a built-in microphone. Total cost? $105.
Editor’s Note: No, they are not iPhone clones anymore, but iPod Touch and iTouch clones.

This player is actually the Onda VX858 and has been out for sometime, pretty good player - we have had good feedback on it.

Onda is not a manufacturer,it’s just another branded player from the same factory.

It’s a good player BUT I highly recommend the Optimus touch over it a million times. The Optimus player looks most like the iPod than any other player in the world. I’m getting one soon!
