Jukebox software gives Pocket PCs an iPod look

iPod-knockoff software


Starbrite Software has made for Pocket PC handhelds, according to CNET News.com: "Unlike the iPod, the $20 software, known as pBop, plays only MP3 files and not the AAC files that Apple's iTunes Music Store sells. StarBrite Solutions, the U.K. startup, originally called its software pPod but said it changed the name to pBop, after Apple suggested that the original name might infringe on Apple's iPod trademark. The company has also made other tweaks to the software in response to Apple's concerns, including altering the layout of the software buttons and including a disclaimer on all its marketing material that it has no connection to Apple or the iPod."
