"Luxpro, a Taiwanese electronics company that won a lawsuit filed against it by Apple over an imitation of the iPod shuffle, intends to countersue Apple for $100m in damages," reports The Financial Times.
Luxpro showed an iPod Shuffle lookalike called Super Shuffle, then launched it as the Super Tangent with a Luxpro logo. Apple sued and got an injunction to stop Luxpro from manufacturing or selling its product. That injunction has now been overturned.
"Luxpro estimates that it has lost revenues of about $100m because of the temporary ban," says the story, and it now wants restitution from Apple.....
Update: DPAreview.net has side-by-side photos of the products from CeBIT. Make has a review of the Super Tangent which says: " It can play MP3, WMA (and DRM'ed WMA), it has an FM tuner and it does high quality audio recording" -- it has a much higher spec than the Apple version. The Top Tangent model adds features such as an OLED screen and synchronised lyrics.
