Mixed reviews of "Super Tangent" posted

Phillip Torrone of Make: has posted a review of the "Super Tangent," an iPod shuffle knockoff made by Luxpro, a Taiwanese manufacturer. Torrone says "It's a funny little mutant, that's for sure." The device offers voice recording, and FM radio playback. "It's quite good quality, I was surprised." Torrone notes that the Super Tangent seems to work with iPod shuffle accessories, but doesn't fit perfectly. The Super Tangent is not officially sold in the United States, but can be found on eBay, according to Gizmodo. Another review posted online was less flattering, stating the device is "worse than you could believe."
