ePod Windows PC Looks Like iPod

Thursday, February 23rd, 2006 at 4:20 PM - by Staff

Logisys Computer, which is known for its line of unique PC cases, has introduced the ePod SOHO, a white case that features iPod-like controls on its face. CNET reporter Ina Fried noted that Logisys' "We do different" motto "is somewhat reminiscent of Apple's 'Think Different' campaign."

Ms. Fried said that a Logisys representative confirmed that the company did not talk to Apple before producing the case, which requires consumers to supply their own motherboard, hard drive and other internal guts. An Apple representative was unable to comment.

Ms. Fried also pointed out that Apple sued eMachines and other companies in the late 1990s when they produced computer designs that were very similar to the original iMac.

Oh yeah! The iPod has that tacky blue glowing crap, and, um, has all those seams, and, uh, is 17 inches wide.

Ugh Lee -- but I'll guess that PC users are desparate for anything that they think looks like a Mac.

Known for its unique line of PC cases?

Hello. It's knocking off the iPod. It's even called the "ePod".

Unique?

They produce lots of other cases, which are unique.

And every one of them ugly as sin.

I suppose some people like that stuff, else they wouldn't be in business, but I know people who bolt sheet metal spoilers to their trunks and think that looks cool, too. Each to their own, I guess.
