Where to get an off brand ipod?

I dislike apple ipods because they're too expensive and I like 3rd party stuff but don't know where to get ipod clones. Does anybody know of any websites or stores that sell them?

You usually come up with several clones if you search for "ipod nano" or the like on ebay.

If you don't like iPods because of the cost, just build your own. Between eBay and www.ifixit.com , I've figured I can build a 60gb video for a little over $200.

Be careful with the sansa m200 series if it has an older firmware. My sister bought one and it died hours after we bought it. Buy one if you want, but I'm wary of some of the other brand stuff.

Just please, in the name of all things good in the world, don't buy a Zune...

/me hugs 2 gig nano

The site has a bunch of reviews for not iPods.

my suggestions:
*mobiblu cube or cube 2
*Sandisk Sansa E250,260,270 or 280 (2,4,6 and 8gb respectivly)
*samsung YPk3 or YPk5, the ypk5 has a built on stereo speaker, the k3 is the same but no speaker therefore smaller
*samsung YP-T9, its pretty nice and fairly small
*Iriver S10, its friggen tiny and there will be a bluetooth capable one soon i think

Something horrid about the Zune surface? I haven't been keeping up with the news in that area.

What surfaced that wasn't horrid?

And if you hate the prices of iPods so much, why don't you just buy a discounted and/or used one? I could sell you a 2Gb Nano...

Oh, that is so incredibly helpful![/sarcasm]

Now, can you tell me what is wrong with it, or am I just going to get one of those "google it (because I'm too tired to summarize what I already know and I don't care, even though this forum is a community and communities are supposed to share information)!" responses?

I wanted an iPod but didn't want to pay the stupid prices so I got a Second Hand 3rd Generation iPod for Â£55 includding postage and packaging. It plays all my music, has 40gb hard drive and thats all I want from it. I can't be bothered to watch video on my mp3 player. Thats what my GP2X is for

but if you do want a clone or anything 'i' related check ebay, Theres just so much choice.

Best Rip off of an iPod Ever!

These days I use my iPod video to play movies I download on the TV. It finally answered the question "how do I watch my Futurama on the big screen!?"

Right now it holds the Futurama seasons and some Robot Chicken. Good stuff.
