MSC Dino A - Another Nano Clone
December 16th, 2005 by Chi An
It seems that MSC is making itself in trouble. Look at its latest MP3 player, Dino A. It’s totally a rip off of Apple’s iPod Nano. Not even the case and button layout are similar, the dimension of MSC Dino A (90 × 40 × 7.8mm) is also almost exactly same as an iPod Nano (89 × 40 × 7mm). The features are quite general, not even worth to tell!

[…] Just after few hours I pointed out the latest iPod Nano ripoff, an Alibaba trade lead of exactly same item hit my mailbox. A manufacturer from Shenzhen, China had sent me a message about its clone iPod Nano. […]

I just bought two units of Supersmart brand Nano clone, and the design is exactly like in the picture. They even have almost the exact replica of Ipod headphones, except that the cables are pure white. The sound quality is very good, I would say almost on par with my Ipod shuffle. It has FM radio but the reception is not that clean. So far I can play only .amv movies. But hey, at a price cheaper than 512Mb Shuffle (in Manila), even if this is only 256Mb but it is still a super bargain. Even the silicon sleeve for Nano fits perfectly (although the screen is a bit covered, since it is slightly longer (but narrower) than Nano’s screen. I haven’t checked the battery life bec it is so new. Screen quality is quite good, I can display pics with reasonable clarity.

[…] Apple’s iPod Nano now becomes the most favourite clone digital audio player. These fake iPod Nano are easily found in the retail market, even in Japan. AKIBA PC Hotline recently spotted a fake Nano named, MP34 1GB is sold for just 11,800 Yen (approx US$102)! The size of this MP34 is almost exactly same as original Nano. Most of the features are same as another fake iPod Nano - MSC Dino A. It plays MP3/WMA audio, MPEG-4 video and FM radio. […]

[…] Remember the Nano clone by MSC? The company recently added few models into its Dino series. One of them is MSC Dino C. It is most likely a iPod Nano without Apple Click Wheel. All of the navigation buttons are hidden from the surface and reside on both side of the player. Its color display is aligned to the center. Dino C also features a so-called Golden Finger, probably some kind of extension interface to connect with accessories. […]
