Remember [sdt=8513]iPod shuffle rip-off[/sdt] and [sdt=8565]iPod mini rip-off[/sdt]?

There's a rip-off to Apple's iPod Hi-Fi

The picture of real Apple iPod Hi-Fi:

Image You can buy iPod Hi-Fi from Apple Store through SillyDog701's link.

now the rip-off, Apogee ICR-2.1

(with the base is at back)

You should not buy Apogee's iPod Hi-Fi rip-off.

What's the betting that Apple sues Apogee, and/or somehow incorporates a clock on the next version of iPod HiFi!

Wow. That's more than just a slight resemblance, that's a full and complete copy!

It could be worse. They could have [sdt=8565]ripped off the name[/sdt] too.

I wonder how they got iPod Dock license from Apple, unless they did not get the iPod Dock connector license from Apple or they did not let Apple know they were to copy iPod Hi-Fi.

Anyway, we know screenshots are useful for the future, so here it the one - the page of Apogee iPod Hi-Fi rip-off.
