iPod Shuffle Fakes Take a look at
these "iPod Shuffles" I spotted at a recent trip to
Chinatown in San Francisco. Almost exactly the same product in
size and design (except for the cable connector, which looked
like a firewire input and was located on the bottom side) and
are (were?) available in three unique colors never offered by
Apple–dark red, olive green and dark blue. The company that
produced these even completely ripped off the "shuffle"
icon and packaging.

Original Design Gangster This was sent
to me by my friend Kelly. Those that know me well know there are
more than a few similarities- from the same kind of glasses to
the same color Mini Cooper. How many of the designers in the gallery
at the end can you name?
