Somebody is always cloning an Apple product. I guess Apple should take that as a compliment. Here’s a fake iPod Shuffle 3G that appears to be large enough to be an iPod nano. We aren’t sure what’s actually inside as it weighs just 14 grams.

Well, we do know that it has an integrated FM tuner with audio recording, a phone book, and an e-book reader. Which is quite a feat as it has no screen. If you want to know more, I suggest you drop the necessary $23 and try to use it with ebooks.

We’re always on the lookout for MP3 speakers, so we had a chance to check out this one from Seattle Sports Co. “Activetrax On the go audio”. It’s designed for camping situations and features AM/FM, weatherband and also serves as an MP3 speaker. It comes with it’s own protective case and can operate by either solar or crank power. So it would seem to be ideal for camping.

As an MP3 speaker, it does the job, but don’t expect high quality sound. It gets pretty loud, but as with most of these type of speakers, the louder you crank it, the more sound problems you have.

One of the problems with the iPod is the lack of an FM transmitter, though there are dozens of iPod FM transmitters available from third party accessories manufacturers.

This device allows you to stream your iPod or iPhone music to any FM radio within a 10 meter radius, and with digital PLL it enables the reception to remain crystal clear even under extreme conditions. All you have to do is plug it in.

Onkyo has released two new cool looking iPod speaker systems. The X-T2CR sports a CD player and the X-T2 plays MDs. Both have built-in iPod docks that are compatible with any generation iPod.

Both also feature AM and FM tuners, and A-OMF Cone and 8cm driver units for the speakers. They’re a little more stylish than your average iPod speaker deck, and actually look pretty nice. ipod docks are a dime a dozen and we like to see some that look good occasionally.

They must be newlyweds because we haven’t seen them before. Speakers or no, they’re an odd couple from Profit Charm. The pair is available in different colors. Mr. Speaker apparently has no shirt and proudly shows off his name on his chest. Mrs Speaker on the other hand wears a shirt and nothing else. So, I’m guessing they can’t make up their minds about being nudists or not.

Both speakers will work with your iPod or computer, laptop etc and they also play FM Radio. They’re powered by USB and I’m assuming their creepy faces light up.

RockridgeSound recently released the somewhat retro looking ISR-VT02 iPod dock. The unit boasts an integrated AM/FM tuner, vacuum tube amplifier, two-stage 12AX7 (ECC83) amplifier, two 3.15 inch speakers, 12W of power, S-Video out, mini stereo input and RCA analog inputs.

The RockridgeSound ISR-VT02 iPod Dock is not only retro looking and “woody”, it’s also compatible with all iPods and the iPod touch. Not the iPhone. This docking station is available in Japan starting today for around $385.

iRiver just rolled out the iRiver E50 MP3 player measuring only 7 mm thick, with a nice brushed metal texture in front. It supports most of popular audio formats and FM radio. Each purchase of the iRiver E50 comes with a pair of earbuds and it’s available in 2, 4 or 8GB storage sizes. The player also offers a 1.8 inch display, voice recorder, and 52 hours of battery life.

I would venture to guess that there’s not many of us looking for a stand-alone radio in the age of iPods. But if you do like carrying around an FM radio, why not make it this cute little cartoon mouse? He’s even got a spring tail, which I assume means that he’s happy to see you. Best of all, he’ll only cost you $6.99, but you’ll need 2 AAA batteries.

Sadly, you can’t even use this mouse as a portable mouse. If I were you I would hurry. Innovation like this won’t stay in stock for long. I haven’t seen such amazing vision in a gadget since the Creative Zen Moo.

LG has finally made the LG KC780 slider handset official. Aka the Portrait Phone. The WTF phone may have been more apt since it sports an 8 megapixel camera, yet lacks some key features like 3G and Wi-Fi and GPS navigation, but what do I know? On the other hand, you get Face and Smile detection, automatic modes for new users, even a Beauty Mode that glams you up and gets rid of imperfections on your face.

ISO 1600 lets you capture better images in the dark, while on the other extreme a Smart Light setting helps with brightness. The handset also doubles as a webcam. Some other features include: GSM 900/1800/1900, GPRS/EDGE connectivity, 2.4? 240×320 QVGA 262k color display, FM radio, Built-in accelerometer, DivX playback, 140MB of user memory, microSD memory card slot, USB 2.0, Bluetooth 2.1 EDR connectivity.

Here’s the first pic of a blue Zune flash player. This one is an 8GB version that was seen posted on Fry’s a little while ago. Despite the color, it doesn’t have a lot to be blue about. Apparently there’s a silver one as well, but no pics of that one. It sports some interesting new features.

Users can access wireless hotspots to update music collections, browse the Zune Marketplace, refresh Channels, exchange favorites, and even buy tagged FM songs. “Channels” are custom stations that will give you personalized playlists. It also has a “Games” feature for what else, games. The “Buy From FM” feature lets you listen to FM radio and tag any songs for purchase when you sync with a PC. Not too shabby.

The Chang Jiang A998 looks a bit like a toy, especially in baby blue color, even though comes with a 2.8 inch display screen, 3.0-megapixel camera, TV function, integrated MP3 and MP4 player, Bluetooth, GPRS, FM radio, dual SIM slots, microSD slot and other basic features like FM radio, E-book , Currency converter, Unit converter, To do list, Incoming calls secretary and calculator. The price is $180.86. Probably the most interesting feature is that it sports the VAIO logo for some reason.

Porsche has the new and bizarre looking Eton Porsche P’9120 stereo system with separate iPod dock and integrated AM/FM & DAB RDS radio. It almost looks like a retro projector.

It’s available for about $925. The iPod dock is equipped with an OLED display and a remote control with a torch built in for when you have the lights down low. Interestingly, the device is made from aluminum and has a double wall for superior sound enhancement

I don’t mean slider in the traditional sense. What I mean is that someone slid right off their rocker, or off the sober wagon or…something. No, this isn’t the top part to that scale that your doctor has in his office. It’s a radio with an interesting slide function, as in you slide the damn radio around to tune in the channel you want, instead of using a dial.

It may be a nice decoration, but I wouldn’t want to use it. At least this thing is cute. Hell, maybe I should invent a real long rail and slide my laptop up and down the thing to tune in websites. That would be swell and I wasn’t using all this living space anyway.

Pure has now released their Pure One Mini, a portable radio measuring just 130 x 135 x 60mm. It will give you 20 hours of portable listening when fitted with the optional rechargeable ChargePAK.

The One Mini will also give you FM reception, an input for your iPod so you can use ONE Mini as a portable speaker, up to 16 presets, a headphone socket and a USB socket for future upgrades. It’s available now in the UK for £40 or $79 USD in three colors to choose from: black, white or pink.

Here’s a lawsuit waiting to happen. This device lives up to it’s name by recording all of your favorite songs directly from FM radio. It’s like they just flipped off the RIAA, or else they were not bright enough to realize that this would draw their attention. It will save your tracks as MP3 files onto an SD card, without the annoying advertisements and DJ talk. Isn’t that what you’ve been waiting for? It also has a USB port, line-in jack, and headphone plug. I would say grab one fast, as this is too good to be true and too up in the RIAA’s bidness. It will cost you £69.99.
