A Taiwanese company - LuxPro copied Apple's <b>iPod shuffle</b> and called it "Super shuffle".

Not just the name, but the control interface, shape, colour and design, even the Apple's trademark white earphones and iPod shuffle's ad.

iPodlounge has a review - "iPod shuffle clone introduced"

Let's wait for the lawsuit.

I'll assume LuxPro haven't done any licensing deals with Apple to create their own rebranded version
of the iPod Shuffle, especially since there have been no official announcements about it, unlike
the HP iPod deal so Apple should (and probably will) take action to sue LuxPro over this.

iPod Shuffle Clone Stirs Controversy
By Ed Oswald, BetaNews
March 14, 2005, 5:56 PM

Taiwanese company LuxPro was asked by Apple reps at CeBIT Friday to remove
what it calls the "Super Shuffle" from its display case. To the casual observer,
at first sight the LuxPro Super Shuffle looks nearly identical as Apple's
recently released iPod Shuffle except for some minor changes.

Most notably absent from the Shuffle clone is support for Apple's AAC format,
although it does support Windows Media with digital rights management.
It also has an FM tuner, which the original Shuffle does not.
