Still life with Apple knockoffs: Thailand

Anonymous says,
Envy the Thai. While we're stuck with only four iPods in the West (Nano, Classic, Touch, and Shuffle) in the black markets of Bangkok they've got dozens of 'iPods' in every shape, size, and color. I took some photos in mid-December while I was traveling there.Link.

Must be MBK-Shopping Center in Bangkok. They have a whole floor filled with little Shops selling fake electronics and mobile phones.
I've heard nothing but bad things about those fake-pods: less memory than they claim, screens that don't actually work, fake "jog wheels" that are really just buttons, crappy sound quality.
And yet still I'm tempted to buy one.
Reading this through my newsreader (which highlights changes), it's amusing to see how much the edits have made this post pro-knockoffs.
their version of the shuffle has a screen!!!
