LuxPro, makers of the Tangent iPod shuffle clones, has released their products, it seems, as the Super Tangent is showing up on eBay for a starting bid of $90 for a 1GB model. The Buy It Now price sucks—$130—but if you can get it for less than $100, you’re getting twice the capacity as the iPod shuffle for the same price (plus even more features, like voice recording and FM radio). I personally am waiting on the model with a screen. If only they’d support regular old AAC, in which I have (dumbly, I’m realizing) encoded much of my music.

Don’t expect to see the LuxPro stuff in stores—Apple would unleash a raft of bloodthirsty lawyers. (Thanks, PR!)
