Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery but it could take some of the attention away from the original. In the world of technology, Apple has seen its share of competing products having a striking resemblance to its products. Now, it gets another dose of such medicine with the latest product in the South Korean market.

PlayTomato’s Video Touch music and video player has a name that is already a clue to what particular product it has similarities with. Why, it is a smaller version of the iPod Touch! The design is definitely a clear copy of the iPod Touch. As for size, well it is quite small. The Video Touch has a 2.5-inch touchscreen QVGA (240 x 320 pixels) resolution screen with 260,000 colors. Two versions of the player are available, one with 2GB of memory and the other with 4GB.

Thus, the Video Touch is targeted for the low-end market. It is way smaller and definitely cheaper. Not bad for a product that could pass for a little sibling of a popular product.
