Microsoft Zune gets cloned already?

Chinese electronic manufacturer, Oriphe, must have seen the the leaked pictures of Microsoft Zune last July. Just look at their new media player called the MPF2110.

Zune Clone

* 1.5″/1.8″ color display
* Plays MP3, WMA, WAV audio
* Plays AMW, MTV, MPEG, AVI video
* JPEG photo support, Voice recorder, FM tuner w/ recording, Lyrics
* 9 color combinations

Here’s their product page. Could they be the same people who created the fake iPod Nanos?

The original Zune (originally came out as the Toshiba GigaBeat) is hard drive based as against the flash disk of the MPF2110 knock-off.

Aside from the wider screen size and wifi feature, the Zune’s basic specs doesn’t excite a lot of people, including me.

Round-up of iPods Killers for 2006

Mp3newswire.net did a round-up of potential iPod killers for Summer 2006.

Looking for an MP3 player and you are open to units other than the iPod? I doubt any of these units will be iPod killers (that silly term their marketing departments continue to use), but they do offer a lot of features not (yet) found on an iPod. As we said before, individually there is no such thing as an iPod killer, but together these players can slowly chip away at Apple’s market share. That’s making the assumption that the iPod’s ability to sell three out of every four players is not sustainable. iTunes does lock a lot of users into Apple’s DRM format, so it may be a really slow chipping away.

  • Toshiba Gigabeat S
  • Samsung SBH-300 Bluetooth
  • Sony NW-A1200 with 8GB
  • NEC VoTol
  • Sandisk Sansa e200 Series
  • Oregon Scientific MP121 Measures BMI

Shiro

Ok, not all of the media players in the list are really worth it — some are just out of the iPod’s league while others are just cutesy. But if I were in a world where Apple does not exist, I would go for Viliv P2 with GPS (yup, GPS) –
4.3 inch color LCD widescreen, 60GB storage, supports MPEG-1/2/4, H.264, DivX, WMV 7/8/9, XviD, MP3, WMA, OGG, AC-3, and WAV.
