Forget iClones, Everybody’s Copying the Iriver Spinn These Days

Forget iClones, Everybody's Copying the Iriver Spinn These DaysLooks like the iriver Spinn is the hippest template for shameless plagiarism these days. Not one but two devices, a camera and a PMP, have popped up with obvious "inspiration" from iriver's '70s-influenced baby.

Forget iClones, Everybody's Copying the Iriver Spinn These DaysThe camera, a no-name little 5MP bugger from China, is more forgivable, since its spinning mechanism does serve a different purpose: turn the lens around and you can take self-portraits.

Forget iClones, Everybody's Copying the Iriver Spinn These DaysBut the PMP, a much less-crappy design by Myracer called the lisse t10, takes the awkward pointed chin of the T-Mobile G1 and pairs it with the sleek contours and, of course, the spinner, of the Spinn. For shame, nameless Chinese manufacturing drones. For shame. [Engadget and DAPReview]
