Nintendo DS iPod Clone

Well it isn't quite that accurate
The storage limitations are only a theory since as of now the iPod DS media player has no mp3 playback.
I've been building an iPod-look-a-like music player for the DS. I have implemented the ClickWheel(TM) completely, and now I'll be working on the menu, and then I'll add playback of the MP3 and OGG formats.
Not to worry though once it has progressed far enough and has mp3 and ogg replay as promised by the author of the program anyone with a Nintendo DS and a bit of ingenuity can more or less make an iPod out of his/her beloved portable console.
What of lawsuit happy Apple getting a whiff of this project? Says the developer (who goes by the alias ‘Lick’):
"I know that Apple won't like this. I'm thinking of making the player -skinnable- and use a different default skin. Also, I could release it with a message like: 'If you like this software, buy an iPod! We LOVE APPLE!'"
I doubt Apple could sue or send a cease and desist to a project like that provided it is not mimicking the Apple iPod likeness down to its smallest of details.
Here it is in action:
