Ipod clone, crap or not?

Medion AG brings a MP3 player with a 20 GB hdd for only 199 Euro's. The player, called Medion MD95200, is a copy of Apple's Ipod. It even has the clickwheel. The Ipod Clone isn't just a cheap copy though. It has some features that the Ipod lacks. It supports SD/MMC memorycards, the battery can be easily replaced and it's got usb-to-go (which means you can save your digi photos on it without using a pc).

Only problem is, it was totally build out of plastic.

What do you guys think of this? Has anybody seen or use it yet? (It's only sold in Germany, for now)

I agree this Ipod clone is very cheap and nasty! and i work for Medion Tech Support!

Its not aimed at the high end market, rather the much lower end

The product retails in stores like Aldi and Lidl

However we have some really good products! Check out the PDA's all with GPS built in

And some of the PC's are very good spec, and i can vouch that the internal parts are known Brands. eg all motherboards are MSI.

Yes I agree... PDAs and PCs by medion are great... cheap but still quality... But this is something medion shouldn't have done... bad move IMO and I still think it's fugly :p

iRiver products are garbage? I could very well start a flame war here! You ignorant little prick.

I respect both Apple and iRiver, so I'm not going to bother hijacking a thread to prove to one fool that neither player is bull****.

Eugh. Go home. :/

that is a disgrace.... dont be poor get the real thing not that pos same goes for i river products.... garbage

okay I'm a iPod user, but what you said was GARBAGE.

I won't even get to how superior iRiver is in terms of battery and functionality, and I don't see how you can relate iRiver to iPod.

They don't even look similar.

BTW, that one really looks bad.

    • The only reason I want to know where you from is because if you are not from the U.K, then why should you care what we in the U.K do or don't do? Racist I am not, I am fed up with the amount coming over here and feel they can come over here and think we need to support them. Do you know how much it costs this country to support these people coming over here? Even when we give them a place to live it is not good enough. We had a barge that was being used to house immigrants, oh but that was not good enough. A mate said to me at the time, when he was homeless, he would have been happy to live on the barge, instead of ending up sleeping on a bench on the beach. I am not scared to say what my family heritage is, unlike you who is scared to say where they are from or where they live. Father side U.S, mother side Wales, still have family living in the U.S. A mate who sadly died a few years ago, had a load of people from different races recording in his studio, I got on with all of them. Skin colour don't bother me, where they are from don't bother me. Religion don't bother me as long as they don't push it onto me and it is not crazy stuff. I am not religious. But if you are not living in the U.K, then why should you care if we are in the E.U or not? This the problem, too many people poking their noses into where it don't belong. But you believe what you believe, if you think I am racist, then be it, I really do not care. Just grow a pair
    • If he hasn't been able to figure that out, then why is he obsessed with tariffs? Because that's one of the most prominent tools to level the playing field when you have high cost of labor.
    • Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft released the newest preview update (C-release) under KB5095093. Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates. For those who may not know, dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery process in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, which are also called Safe OS updates. The dynamic updates also affect the Setup file binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11. The company writes: "KB5095186: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, version 26H1: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.28000.2335. KB5102558: Setup Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to Windows setup binaries or any files that setup uses for feature updates in Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows 11, version 25H2. KB5095615: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.26100.8737." Microsoft notes that both the Recovery and Setup updates will be downloaded and installed automatically via the Windows Update channel.
    • The high cost of labor and operating within the US. Donald hasn't been able to figure that out--pathetic.
