There are run-of-the-mill KIRFs, above-average KIRFs, and this. While
we've definitely been privy to a few comical iPhone / iPod knockoffs
over the years, there's a certain layer of hilariousness to this one
that just can't be beat. The iPod nano watch isn't even a genuine
Apple product; in fact, it's simply a mod that's so easy, your mum
could probably pull it off with minimal effort. That clearly hasn't
stopped the factories in Shenzhen from churning out an iPod nano watch
knockoff, complete with a 1.8-inch resistive touchscreen, inbuilt SIM
card slot, Bluetooth, a microSD slot, FM radio tuner, a side-mounted
camera sensor and a speaker for good measure. You'll even get a fancy
"Slide to Unlock" screen before being able to dig into the underlying
UI, but that chintzy plastic wrist strap all but destroys any respect
it was hoping to garner. Thankfully, the unit you're peering at above
is being dubbed an "engineering prototype," with the final version
expected to boast a 3.5mm headphone jack and a modicum of self-worth.
We'll see, won't we?
