Cheap Pink Zune 8 on Amazon

Forget the Zune 80 this Christmas, they are impossible to get a hold of and go for the smaller, sleek and, ultimately, cuter Zune flash players. Amazon is selling a pink Zune 8 for only $157.74 plus shipping. Other Zune 8 colors are much higher priced at $184.99 or almost the Microsoft suggested retail price of $199. I rather like the green Zune 2, but remember when the original pink Zune first appeared and how popular there were?
I wonder why Chinese manufacturers can’t seem to come up with designs of their own but instead want to copy existing form factors on the market and come out with something that would fool even the seasoned eye at a glance. The ONDA Honey VX878 looks suspiciously like the iPod Touch and comes with a 2.4″ 260k color touchscreen display and support for AVI, MP3, WAV, WMA, FLAC, APE, TXT, LRC, JPG, and BMP media formats.
It’s this year’s latest must-have gadget and the first bona fide iPod to have built-in Wi-fi, the Safari Web browser, and the YouTube app iPhone owners have come to love. It looks just like the iPhone, with the same size screen but it’s thinner overall, and it borrows the multi-touch interface from the iPhone — it even has the same home screen. It also carries over the accelerometer that transfers the screen from portrait to landscape mode, the same 3.5-inch widescreen display and Wi-Fi, although it’s only 802.11b/g on the iPod Touch.
Ever got mad at your Digital Audio Player for running out of battery in the middle of your favourite song?
