In MP3 Player Fashion Trends, Ugly is the New Cute

Posted: June 28th, 2008 | Author: | Filed under: m, mp3 | No Comments »

Based on looks alone, this is being called the worst MP3 player ever by some. I think that worst may not be the right word… maybe ugliest, or most hideous is the word they are looking for.

Either way, I can’t imagine someone actually buying this thing. I find it harder to believe that someone thought it would be a good idea to sell it. Oh sure, it looks like a deformed puppy, and you’ll probably save all sorts of dough on pet supplements , but at what cost?

With a headphone jack in the neck, and a USB connector in the rear, when you’re charging it and listening to music at the same time this will certainly look more like a skewered hog than a.. whatever this is supposed to look like.

An MP3 Jammin head-nod goes to Technabob for putting an ear to the ground and finding this gadget first.


Building Block MP3 Player

Here’s a cool little MP3 player- shaped like a popular building block that shall go unnamed. This sweet little device is one of the cooler electronics that I’ve seen lately. This MP3 player will accept up to a 2 gigabyte MicroSD card for memory. Charging and file transfer is done via USB and the price is decent at just under $50. Five colors are available and a single charge provides about six to ten hours of playback.
