This tiny gadget weight just 18g and is 22 mm per side.

These cubes come in a range of five different colours – white, black, light blue, pink and yellow –
Like a dice token, each side is marked with a different function: play, on, next, previous, etc.
It uses a microSD for memory storage and the usb cable uses one face.

The sharp edges might feel poky when dropped in your pocket. It won't be long when a 'cube' player will be sold in the market, to avoid precisely just this.

What seems to have only bad points, do have some good "sides": it has a good sound system, considering it does not have equaliser or bass boost. Sounds are clear and crisp, but comes with crappy earphones.
The MicroSD card storage allows up to 32GB although that will come extra as it only comes with a 2 GB card.

Nice as a novelty, but you might get better mileage from something else, even if it's a big bigger...

Plays your standard MP3/WMA/WMA DRM files and has an FM tuner, but it seems a bit expensive for $89.99.

Also, Samsung will relese a 14 inch transparent OLED laptop display which might be the first in the market!

Bad UI usability is suspected, as people prefer the simplicity of iPod players, but due to the continual copying of interfaces, we would only imagine it would not be such a big issue.

Oh, and it only costs $20...

I can only think of a few places that could be, but I'm an "inside dweller"... If I'm at the car, I would charge it with the CAR'S BATTERY! And I would fear getting my windows broken to get to my mp3 player... But maybe you're a coach? Or someone who is on the sun all day... I would pack this (and a good sunblocker)...

Sweetpea has just the player for you, Baby’s First MP3 Player, a combination for ruggedness and durability perfect for little hands. This MP3 player is a safe “non-toxic” device your kids can carry around with its oversized grip ring. The simple buttons make it easy for little fingers to press buttons and listen to the music they want. No longer do you need to worry about them banging it around, dropping it, or losing it. The design is purposely oversized and created with single-piece design of hard rubber that is FDA approved.

There is a menu for parents to adjust volume, so that the player will not drive you mad when it plays the same song over and over and over. For $50 you can give your child the power to control their music while keeping your music player a very safe distance from curious hands. It’s also a great way to get your kids involved in technology, safe for kids 0-6 yrs of age.

The new Nokia X3 offers dedicated music and volume keys acting like a standalone MP3 player for music on the move as found in the X6 but the X3 is a new sliding phone and the first ever to be branded with the X-range tag.

Aside from the latest Nokia music player and software the Nokia X3 also offers a 3.5mm audio jack so that the consumer can use their preferred standard headphones rather than those included in the packaging.

Cowon's iAudio E2 harks back to the unassuming MP3 player accessory that’s designed to be carried around in a pocket or on a keychain. To this end it’s superbly small, slim and light, and features a stainless steel hoop at one end for easy attachment. 2GB or 4GB capacities allow for a decent collection of tunes, uploaded via the hybrid 3.5mm port at the base, which also doubles as a charger.

1.5 hours charge should get around 10 hours of playback from the E2, and this is controlled by similarly subtle buttons on the left and right. Power, volume adjustment and track search/skip controls are small, but well placed and responsive to the touch.

The E2 also includes a range of preset equalizer settings in the form of Cowon’s BBE+, accessible via a further button that doubles as a shuffle/repeat switch. Due to the lack of a display, the current setting or recognised command is spoken during operation.

Just released in India, the E-MP35 seems a bit flimsy, but seems to barely work as required. This review in TECH India complains of a bad aspect ration in videos, if it's not 4:3, the video gets squished!

It's billed as cheap, but for $80 I would expect a much better deal...

Chinese manufacturers have come up with this design, a his/her shaped mp3 player to share with your sweetheart... USB accesible, weighs 20 grams and has capactity from 256 Megs to 8 gb, available in red, pink and other colors.

I'm thinking it would play like an ipod shuffle, although it would be really innovative if both hearts synced and played exactly the same song on both players at once :) but I seriously doubt this one has that! :)

In short:
"The ViewSonic VPD400's screen is good but not great. ... For casual movie-watching on the train or bus it will be acceptable.

If you're not interested in Web access, interactive applications or a touch screen, the ViewSonic VPD400 will do a good job as your portable media player. It's reasonably priced and includes core media player functionality with a few nifty extras like HDMI output and expandable memory."
