MP3 Player Looks/Sounds Familiar

from the copy-everything dept

eDigital has come out with a handheld MP3 player that looks somewhat similar to Apple's iPod, and goes by the name Treo 10 - which is strikingly similar to Handpring's new Treo device. The player is bigger than the iPod, but also cheaper. It also is designed for Windows boxes, as opposed to the Mac-only iPod. As for the name, they say it's pronounced differently "tray-o" as opposed to "tree-o" for Handspring's device. Both companies have trademarks on the name.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Just like the iPod?

    People keep saying "X is just like the iPod only it's a little bigger, a little cheaper, and doesn't support FireWire." That's like saying I'm just like Michael Jordan, except I'm a little shorter, less well-paid, and can't play basketball.
