DAPreview.com has some actual photos of the Luxpro shuffle we mentioned the other day. Now, we know many of you are out there thinking, “That looks exactly like an iPod shuffle!” You’re not the only one. However, one of the Luxpro reps at CeBIT set a reporter straight saying, “It is not identical to iPod shuffle, it is better.” So that settles that. After being asked by Apple’s blog-eating laywers to remove the display unit on Friday, Luxpro complied. Crafty logicsmiths that they are, however, Luxpro returned the unit to their booth the very next day, noting proudly that Apple’s crack team hadn’t asked them to remove the item from display indefinitely. We love crazy loopholes. Further legal action is sure to come from Apple and it doesn’t seem likely you’ll ever be able to get your hands on one. If anything, the utter tenacity of Luxpro is to be admired; we’ll give them that.
