Luxpro Changes Super Shuffle Name

Luxpro Changes Super Shuffle Name 03/30/2005 02:03 PM

We reported on Luxpro's "Super Shuffle" around CeBIT, and it's pretty obvious why Apple is spittin' mad. It has more functionality than the iPod shuffle, yet looks exactly the same.

Apple has managed to get through to Luxpro, because Luxpro today announced the product's name has changed to the "Super Tangent." The same iPod shuffle-like frame exists, though the design of some buttons has changed. And it's available in black and red, unlike the Shuffle's "white only."

to happen 03/14/2005 06:08 PM
As reported by iPodLounge and MacDailyNews, a Taiwanese company has introduced a blatant rip-off of Apple's iPod shuffle -- the Luxpro Super shuffle. The device has been seen on display at the CeBIT conference in Germany where its name, look, and marketing brazenly mimics Apple's new flash-based wonder.

Apple's lawyers are pretty busy with their other lawsuits but I'm sure they won't hesitate to add another to their dockets.

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.

More and more people seem to misunderstand the recent products from Apple. It's like people see them and go, "I wouldn't buy that, so why did they make that? Apple is [dying|dead|bankrupt|Republican]! The horror!"

Umm, so, yeah. There's approximately 5,999,999,999 other people in this world and I'm guessing, it's just a wild guess, that some of them might have different opinions.

CNet is reporting that Wal-Mart has begun shipping small quantities of the iPod mini to select outlets, possibly heralding a full-fledged adoption of the iPod line as a complement to its own flash player and music store. If nothing else, it is a sign of the iPod's complete transition to a commodity, branded product first, and a technological nerd gadget second. Whatever you think of Wal-Mart—whether devilish idol of all that is unholy about capitalism or just the multi-headed sentient cancer spurting forth from a humming black obelisk in the heart of Arkansas—there's no denying they move a lot of product.
