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.
There are 3 variations of screen size for MSC Dino C, which are 1.3″, 1.5″ and 1.8″ (kinda weird). The suggested prices for 1.5″ version are RMB299 (approx US$37), RMB399 (approx US$50) and RMB499 (approx US$62) for 256MB, 512MB and 1GB respectively.

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!
