Guess you gotta keep those Apple laywers busy....

It looks like the first generation Ipod. Maybe Apple doesn't care about defending that old design anymore. :lol: Yeah, right. Guess we'll find out soon enough.

But it is surprising that they'd make it look so much like a 5GB Ipod.

It does have a much higher resolution on the screen than the Ipod photo, though. The Ipod's screen rez is just too low, especially when considering the screen is only 2". But even though the Vtech's screen is also 2", the higher rez should really help.
