How do the Chinese ipod clones and touch mp3/mp4 compare with Apple? Are they reliable, or junk?

Question

I know they're a LOT cheaper with more features. Their warranty isn't very good, and I'd rather spend more money and be assured of a good product with warranty,

Answer 1

Actually I'm pretty sure they don't have more features. They're really just incredibly cheap junk that exists only to get the seller a cheap sale. They rarely work for more than a few months, build quality is awful, they're probably sweat-shop made, they aren't easy to use, they don't work well, and their only purpose is to make a few bucks for the nameless Chinese companies who make them and the cheap shops who sell them. Being an iPod owner though, I can tell you it's definitely worth the money. And you get the benefit of knowing what company made it, so if it ever broke or needed repair you could get that done. And if it ever exploded and killed your cat, you'd know who to sue.

Answer 2

Considering that the Ipod is manufactured in China, it is with great experience that they were able to create a comparable with the same features and design as the original.

If money is no object then buy the original...

If money is tight, get the clone.
