CNET Asia has a dual-review of the iPod Shuffle compared to Luxpro's knock-off player, the Super Tangent. As you might have guessed...

"The shuffle wins the confrontation this time, proving that sometimes, copycats just can't hold a candle to the original. But if faced off against an MP3 player that sports its own screen, the results could possibly be the other way around."

They felt the Shuffle had greater build quality and controls, better sound quality, longer battery life, a wider range of codec support (Apple's closed formats - AAC and Apple Lossless), and of course, there are more accessories available. The tangent only won in two sections out of the seven that were presented, namely, for its ease of use and extra features (voice recording, FM radio, bass boost). Read the whole bit HERE.
