Fake East African iPod Comes in Real Box

Matthew Christie's brother picked him up a hot new iPod Classic in Tanzania, which just so happened to be a Chinese knock-off. It surely has a worse interface than a proper iPod, but you can't argue with the features: SD-slot, built-in speaker, and a camera!

But my favorite thing—and why this is notable—is that the model came in a beat-up but seemingly legit iPod U2 box, which means someone is out there collecting up boxes into which faux iPods are sold. Clever.
