Fake Sony NW-A800s at CES

Sun, Jan 13, 2008

There are a lot of Sony NW-A800 clones in the wholesaler sites we browse regularly to bring you the best (and sometimes funniest new PMPs from China - they also call it MP4 players there). They copy Sony’s hardware perfectly and load it up with their own OEM software. The result is a PMP player-NW-A800 lookalike that no one can tell apart from the real thing without looking into the screen. You’d think manufacturers who make ripping off Sony’s and Apple’s on a regular basis wouldn’t be allowed to show their wares at such a prestigious show as CES, but you’d be wrong, as Endgadget found out… there wasn’t only one fake NW-A800 but two and presented by different manufacturers.
