Oh So Fake!

iStage

Today, a friend asked me to set up his "iPod." This unassuming individual handed me a device called the "iStage," which he apparently got as a gift for his birthday. I let him know that it was a fake, and stood slightly bemused at the myriad accessories offered up with this gadget. Why does the fake iPod come with more accessories than the real iPod? Then again, the iStage doesn't play purchased songs or videos from the iTunes Music Store, so it's a little....useless. Another day, another fake, and another acknowledgement counterfeits are good for nothing.
