• With the number of recent threads from brand new users that we have observed in our Classifieds forum selling goods under questionable circumstances, we have instituted a new policy restricting new members of iLounge from posting new threads in the Classifieds forum until they have reached "Regular Member" status.

    New users become Regular Members once they have made 10 posts and been a member of the iLounge Forums for at least 7 days. Prior to this time, members may still read the Classifieds forum, and even respond to existing threads for items being sold by other members, but they may not create new threads advertising their own items for sale.

    This will hopefully help to protect our user community by discouraging fraudulent users from signing up and posting classified ads without having at least a very basic level of established membership in our forums.

    Obviously all users should still exercise due diligence when making use of our classifieds forums, but we hope that this restriction will help to decrease the number of blatantly fraudulent ads that we have been seeing in recent weeks.

    Please be sure to review our Classified Forum Policy for more information.

You know we???re suckers for a good???or rather, not good, as the case may be???iPod mini knock-off (the ABOSS i-Pocket or GoDot m8370 anyone?), but the iZon takes the absurity to a whole other level of mad geniusness by not even being an MP3 player. Nah, what you???re looking at is an AM/FM radio, m???friends. Pure genius.

It really continues to amaze me, how creative the Portable Music market is, especially in design! Oh boy, Apple's lawyers are going to have a field day! :D

:D That ABOSS i-Pocket has both: the 4 buttons and the click wheel. I have no use for the iZon - wow, even the "i" - when will it ever stop?

The whole point of having an iPod, for myself, is the fact that I can listen to songs that I like whenever I want to and not be stuck with listen to the crap that is played over and over again on a radio.

Haha, I just got done reading this over at Engadget.

It is amazing how iPod is the standard by which all other MP3 designs are made off of. Heh.

What amazes me is not that so many companies try to rip off the design of the iPod, but rather than after ripping off the design they still manage to make ugly products. That ABOSS thing looks like junk, even though it's clearly a mini/3g hybrid. That's truly amazing!

Wow, that is just amazing how people will try to rip off Apple on every account.

I just got done reading this http://techdigestuk.typepad.com/tech_digest/2004/12/aboss_ipocket_i.html and started looking at the picture. If you notice, there is a little round rectangle on the right side of the click wheel. That thing is in a different place on all of the pictures.

This kind of stuff kind of makes me mad actually.
