I will never forget the first time I bought a Sony walkman some time ago. I was pretty happy, got quite a deal on it too, but then again, it was not Sony, it was Sunny or something. It looked exactly like the Sony walkman I wanted to purchase. This is why I am not at all surprised to see any clone to any digital product, especially if it comes from Chine. Now we have exactly the same thing with the first iPOD Nano clone. It definitely appeared very quickly …
