Receive this email from a friend telling me there are more Ripoff product made in ChinaThis time even the Oakley Thump 2 MP3 shades are being copied! Thats not all! Look at their price!!! You can get an iPod Shuffle for only USD12.43 (less than RM50)!!!

If you goto their website HERE They are selling lotsa electronics stuffs ranging from SD memory card to notebook computers to MP3 players, all at dirt cheap price! they claimed to represent various manufacturer in China selling directly to end user like us.

I seriously do not know how honourable they are or is this a scam to cheat your wallet but judging from the price I know that local importers are sure making hell lotsa money by selling China made electronics!

I think quality would remain a major issue here, most of the stuffs that are mass produced in China does somehow seems to be “not so perfect” most of the time. So if you wanna purchase from them, I would advice you not to buy in bulk, instead small purchase should be sufficient or else you would be stuck with a whole batch of defective products.

The only thing that is attractive is their prices, something we normally paying USD60 for are now costing only less than USD13 bucks! But then again if its defective …. what good is it to you right ?

Look at their prices! Oakley Thump 2 ripoff only USD35.50, iPod shuffle ripoff only USD12.43, iPod Nano ripoff only USD30.54. This is just insanely cheap!!!

If I m gonna own any Ferrari, this Oregon Ferrari MP3 Player is as close as I get! Alittle pricey but Its a Ferrari OK!

Ferrari’s lent its logo yet again. This time around the prancing horse from Italy is glued on to an MP3 player from Oregon Scientific. There’s nothing out-of-this-world about the Ferrari FMP160. It’s a compact MP3 player measuring in at 56 x 42 x 20 mm. As you would have guessed by now, it’s got Ferrari hallmarks stamped all over it - from the rubberized (and rumored to be slash proof) red-colored body, to the prancing horse stuck on the front, to the red-colored carry pouch with another prancing horse stuck on it .

Feature wise it comes with a gigabyte of flash memory, supports MP3, WMA, WMA DRM 9, and WAV formats, supports SRS WOW, and connects through USB 2.0. Nothing fancy.

You would need to shell out about US$230 for this player. There’s an earpiece thrown in as well. If you absolutely can’t live without the prancing horse in your pocket, then this player is for you. Else, skip it.

The new Pocket LOOX T Series: always in touch with your businessNew all-integrated handheld from Fujitsu Siemens Computers featuring Windows Mobile® Direct Push e-mail for anywhere, anytime data access

Mobile phone, notebook, navigation system, digital camera, VoIP headset, PDA, MP3 player, and don’t forget the right power adapter for each device. It’s quite a lot of gear for the business traveler to carry around - the term “unlimited mobility” is hardly one that would spring to mind.

Fortunately, Fujitsu Siemens Computers is bringing an end to all this. Europe’s leading IT company will unveil its Pocket LOOX T Series to the public at the 3GSM World Congress, which started today in Barcelona. Featuring Windows Mobile® Direct Push e-mail and UMTS mobile phone, this all-integrated handheld is a pocket-sized office that eliminates the need for multiple devices.

With Microsoft® Windows Mobile 5.0 software and UMTS functionality, Pocket LOOX T series users always have access to their e-mails, appointment calendar and other familiar Microsoft Office applications. And it’s user-friendly, with a standard QWERTY keyboard and brilliant TFT display. Incorporating these devices into the corporate network is straightforward, ensuring secure and reliable data transfer, while the integrated GPS makes sure you never get lost. The new high-end handhelds will arrive at shops in July for prices of approximately €700.

With annual growth rates of 70 percent in the handhelds market in 2005 Fujitsu Siemens Computers has established itself as a key mobility player in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). Fast, efficient digital communication is becoming ever more crucial, particularly in the rapidly growing market for convergence products. With decades of IT and mobility experience, Fujitsu Siemens Computers is extremely well positioned for success in this convergence market. The company recognizes that business users require all-integrated devices, which over time, will replace conventional handhelds and mobile phones.

“It is vital for the mobile workforce to have the information they need at hand anytime and anywhere, and to have the means to respond quickly when it matters,” explained Peter Esser, Executive Vice President Volume Products & Supply Operations at Fujitsu Siemens Computers.

THE REVIEW

The lowdown
While we often get to look at expensive high tech handsets that start “from free” thanks to the joy of mobile phone contracts, plenty of people prefer the cheaper pay-as-you-go option. Sagem’s my401x falls into both business and casual user’s categories in the hard fought budget handset market at a price of below £80, although exactly how much will be at the decision of the network.

What’s good?
Stylistically, budget handsets are often found lacking and can be bit of a burden on the pocket. Sagem seems to have tackled both of these issues head-on as the my401x is a strong contender for slimmest handset below the £100 mark and weighs just 90g. Its candy-bar design isn’t going to win any awards but only because errs on the side of smart rather than distinctive. It is also worth noting that we were playing with the black version but it is likely that the silver model (as pictured) will be the most common variety of this handset.

To put its dimensions of 105 x 15 x 46mm in perspective, the ultra-slim Motorola Razr is only 1.2mm thinner (when closed) but it will set you back around £130.

The handset has a pretty good button layout which is easier to use than those on some rival compact handsets, however it is let down slightly by the four-way menu navigation button which can prove a bit fiddly. The menu itself is pretty straight forward to use and reminiscent of the Sony Ericsson layout.
