8/12/07 ebay Hong Kong sellers
http://www.free-press-release.com/news/200708/1186937232.html Nano-Tech-discount-electronics.com finds that ebay Hong Kong sellers have flooded ebay and other online sales venues with 8GB faked memory iPod nano 2nd gen copy MP3 players. In a recent search on ebay for 8GB MP3 player Nano-Tech-discount-electronics.com found thousands of 8GB compressed drive iPod nano 2nd gen copy mp3 players listed. Further investigation revealed that the entire market was dominated by as few as six Hong Kong sellers. Some had listing upwards of six hundred identical items listed at the same time. All items were iPod nano 2nd gen copy mp3 players with compressed flash memory. With five colors available that made as many as three thousand listings running on ebay at the same time, all listed by a single seller. Nano-Tech-discount-electronics.com has dissected these iPod nano 2nd gen copy mp3 players, and confirmed that they are indeed smaller flash memory chips, compressed to make them 8GB with only between 500MB and 1GB of the memory useable in the unit's menu. Nano-Tech-discount-electronics.com also confirmed that these ebay sellers were in direct violation of ebay's listing policies, and in most cases did not even mention in their advertising the fact that they are compressed drives. In further searches on other online sales venues, that have more lax policies, Nano-Tech-discount-electronics.com found that the same iPod nano 2nd gen copy mp3 players were even being advertised as Apple iPod. Beware of 8GB nano fakes, if you see an 8GB MP3 player for less than $100.00 and the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. There are true to size 8GB iPod nano 2nd gen copy MP3 players on the market, but the market is so saturated with the compressed drive units that the real ones are almost invisible.
