Pistons iPod shuffle clone
The Detroit Pistons have begun offering the Pistons MP3 Player as part of a charity drive, which bears an uncanny resemblance to Apple's first-generation iPod shuffle. The screenless player features similar controls but substantially different internal mechanics, according to Electronista, playing only MP3 and WMA songs without support for Apple's FairPlay DRM-protected tracks purchased from the iTunes Music Store. Internal storage is limited to 128MB of flash memory, but the basketball team promises both a low price and a charitable contribution for players sold. Each player costs $25 and makes a donation to the Detroit Medical Center's breast cancer prevention program, while purchasing five of the players obtains another sixth player for free.
