What's My Age? Here's a Clue: My MP3 Player's A Cow

Andi Wang — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 21:00:13 EDT

EverGreen recently released 12 strictly-MP3-compatible players, each one representing a different animal in the Chinese Zodiac. These $30 players have a 5 hour battery life and hold 2GB of music. [GeekStuff4U via AkihabaraNews]

Evergreen Genius Navigator 365: It's a Mouse! It's a Gamepad! It's a Gamemousepad!

Benny Goldman — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 11:16:28 EST

Evergreen's new Genius Navigator 365 is described by the English translation of Impress as "a USB gamepad deformed laser mouse", and we couldn't agree more. The mouse is 1600dpi, the gamepad has eight buttons and a D-pad, and it sells for $33 (¥3,499). Be warned, of course, that you get what you pay for. [Impress]

Evergreen Headphones Double as Earwarmers

Those of you whose families disowned them years ago may find comfort on this, the bleakest of days, in Evergreen's 18-buck toasty headphone-earwarmer combo. Then again, you may not. [Impress Japan]

Evergreen Flash-to-USB Stick Will Take Cards

Addy Dugdale — Wed, 16 May 2007 07:18:27 EDT

This Evergreen USB adaptor is for people who like to play with slots - of the flash memory kind. It's a USB memory stick with a slot for memory cards, so it's more like an adaptor, really. They have all sorts of models, ones which accept anything from Compact Flash, Secure Digital, micro SD, MMC and Memory Stick.

The Compact Flash model goes up to 8 GB, measures 78 x 10 x 23mm. The SD/MMC model can do 2GB, measures 46 x 10 x 20mm. The Memory Stick PRO/duo model also goes up to 2GB and measures 55 x 10 x 18mm. All of them weigh 15 grams, apart from the micro SD, (also available in green) which comes in at a titchy 7 grams, and measures 46 x 10 x 20. Cost is around 499 yen, which is $4.15. – Ad Dugdale

P.S. I so wanted to headline this "Cartman's USB Stick is a Dirty Slot, but Mummy said no.

EverGreen !Tude Neon-ish Earphones

Charlie White — Thu, 07 Dec 2006 09:31:49 EST

If you haven't been feeling conspicuous enough lately, strap on these EverGreen !Tude earphones for iPod or any other music player, and attract all kinds of unwanted attention as their neon-esque cables flash as if they were dancing to the music. Power 'em up with a couple of AAA batteries that might just last throughout the entire rave, if you can find one.

This might be an important accoutrement to the mating ritual, but we prefer black. Plus, that battery pack looks like it's bigger and weighs more than a nano, and certainly more than a shuffle. No pricing or availability was announced. – Charlie White

Evergreen's Memory Card Cleaner Wastes Your Green

Jason Chen — Tue, 21 Nov 2006 16:00:23 EST

Apparently both memory cards and memory card readers get dirty over time, as dust or liquids accumulate on the contacts, corroding the metal and affecting transfer speeds. Or so Evergreen wants you to believe. The reason? Their memory card reader pack.

The set consists of a cloth and various sized "fake" memory cards with material on the end designed to clean the contacts inside your reader. Useful if you've been having problems with your card reader, not very useful otherwise. Depending on how much these go for, it may be cheaper just to go buy another card reader. – Jason Chen

Edifier E1100 2.1-Channel Speakers Look Really, Really Nice

Gizloco — Mon, 18 Sep 2006 11:04:44 EDT

Way back in August we first mentioned the Hermione speakers that were due to hit Korea. Now, the sleek speaker system is about to hit Japan, this time with a new name and some actual stats for you. Now known as the Edifier E1100, this 2.1-channel speaker system's two satellite speakers each have a 4.5W power output, while the subwoofer has a mighty 12W. Like we opined when we first laid our eyes on it, the Edifier would be an excellent addition to an all black computer system or the New Zealand ruby team's facilities.

For a change, having something that looks nice won't require to you to get a second mortgage, since it retails for around $42 right now in Japan. Over there, it's marketed by Evergreen. – Nicholas Deleon

Evergreen Mini-Shaped Enclosure for SATA or IDE

Charlie White — Mon, 18 Sep 2006 08:33:51 EDT

Evergreen, makers of the nine-dollar MP3 player, anticipates the Mac mini/iTV-inspired home theater revolution with the Evergreen NAS Mini, a Mac mini-sized network-attached storage enclosure. You can get it with or without LAN connections in the back, and it supports IDE or SATA 3.5" hard disks.

Smart move, Evergreen, anticipating the next home theater PVR with the building blocks for a Mac mini-based TiVo replacement. Imagine one or two of these stacked underneath a mini. Drop in a $190 Western Digital Caviar 7200rpm 500GB disk, and you'll have plenty of cost-effective storage, maybe even enough for those huge HDTV media files. – Charlie White

$9 MP3 Player Available in Color, Still 9 Bucks

Travis Hudson — Fri, 25 Aug 2006 10:51:27 EDT

The $9 MP3 Player that is essentially just a SD memory card reader with some control buttons got a bit of a Technicolor makeover. Orange, blue, green, black and pink are all of the options. Now you can own a rainbow of shitty MP3 players! – Travis Hudson

USB Egg from Evergreen Consolidates Three Functions in One

Charlie White — Fri, 21 Jul 2006 09:11:56 EDT

Here's yet another USB device to clutter up your desktop, but this one from Evergreen attempts to consolidate numerous functions into its whimsical egg-shaped design. It's a pair of speakers, a card reader and a USB 2.0 hub, giving you not-exactly-rocking tunes with 2 watts per channel, a card reader that can handle SD, CompactFlash and Media Stick, and then a USB hub with two ports.

Doesn't a product need to have more than two USB ports to be called a "hub?" Perhaps it should be called a "twofer." Anyway, the USB Egg is available in Japan, and there's no word whether we'll see it stateside. Looks like fun if you're obsessed with eggs or perhaps concerned about fertility. – Charlie White

Three Way HDMI Selector From Evergreen

Gizloco — Fri, 14 Jul 2006 09:56:08 EDT

Even with more and more manufacturers jumping on the HDMI bandwagon (with no pressure from DRM-happy Hollywood, to be sure), it's still a relatively rare connection. (My local cable company doesn't even offer HD cable boxes with HDMI outputs but instead chooses to give you component cables; DVI cables must be purchased on your own dime.) If you're a high roller with multiple HDMI sources but are saddled with a receiver that doesn't support the all-digital connection, Evergreen's EG-HDMI301 offers a painless way to incorporate up to three said connections into your home entertainment center. Once it's being fed three (or two or one) different HDMI inputs, the EG-HDMI301 easily switches between the different signals. Thankfully, it supports "true" HD resolutions of up to 1,920 x 1,200—more popularly known as 1080p.

The aluminum EG-HDMI301 can be found in Japan for about $257. Now all that's left is for you to not overpay for those wonderful HDMI cables. – Nicholas Deleon

Shockproof Hard Disk Case

Jason Chen — Fri, 30 Jun 2006 21:04:25 EDT

Designed for 2.5" hard drives—that's notebook hard drives—the shockproof casing protects drives up to 120cm (3.9 feet). That's just about the distance between your desk and the floor, or your hands and the floor. The sides are made of plastic and provide cushioning for falls, at least if it lands on the bumper. Inside is coated with foam to pad the hard drive itself. We just hope this foam isn't combustible, as hard drives can get pretty darn hot. – Jason Chen

Ever Green Pink MP3 Player (For Girls, Naturally)

Gizloco — Fri, 23 Jun 2006 12:14:46 EDT

Yes, if it's pink it must be for girls. Take this portable MP3 player from Japan's Ever Green corporation. Going by the moniker of DN-2000, this SD card-based player includes no built-in memory whatsoever, making it necessary to separately purchase said SD cards. You can insert cards up to 1GB in size and then try to guess what MP3 is playing since there's no display to speak of. It's pretty much a bare bones device, powered by dreadfully old tech AAA batteries that should last up to five hours.

It's certainly small enough, measuring only 2.2 x 2.4 x 0.5-inches and weighs just over one ounce. So if small, near-crippled pink MP3 players are your bag, baby, then Ever Green's little player might just be a solid addition to your purse. Oh, and it's only about $9, give or take some cents, but it's Japan-only for now. – Nicholas Deleon

$9 MP3 Player

Jason Chen — Wed, 17 May 2006 16:25:28 EDT

How cheap can they go with mp3 players? Single digits? You got it. Evergreen makes a screenless mp3 player for $9. USB2.0 and 1 gig SD card support are both included. Who needs an iPod shuffle when you can get this for less than the price of a movie ticket in NY.

Plug and Play: Evergreen Music, Baby

Charlie White — Fri, 24 Mar 2006 13:33:27 EST

The Evergreen DN-MPS100 Music Baby is a speaker enclosure that amounts to simplicity in a box. Plug in a USB flash drive loaded with MP3s, and sit back as sweet music wafts through the Music Baby s two speakers. Its built-in 7-watt amplifier might not have enough oomph to crank out a wall of sound, but then it's bargain-priced at $60. Now this is what they meant by the term plug-and-play —you plug, it plays.

Thunder, Lightning - These MP3 Glasses Are Frightening

Noah R — Mon, 12 Dec 2005 09:10:54 EST

Hey baby, meet ThunderEyes, the sunglasses that can play up to a gigabyte of Tom Jones all night long. You don't like the way ThunderEyes looks? The lenses, they are interchangeable, oh yeah. You probably think ThunderEyes is just another Thump, Evergreen, Nu Tech or Harry. But ThunderEyes can please you in ways you never imagined with integrated microphone and voice recording capability. Boom, boom, boom, ThunderEyes is shock proof —impervious to whatever you say. Call me sometime, m'kay?

Evergreen Speakers with Wired Remote

tgrumet — Mon, 28 Nov 2005 16:37:56 EST

These Evergreen 2.1 channel speakers not only look like something I'd actually want in my home, they also have an interesting extra feature. As well as including two flat front speakers and an active subwoofer, the DN-USP913 system has a wired remote with a USB port, letting you plug in any MP3 player or USB drive. MP3 files are then decoded and played with a bit rate of 64 - 320 kbps. You'll also get a bundled SD / MMC card reader. Just $50.

Lobot MP3 Player

Noah R — Mon, 26 Sep 2005 11:44:16 EDT

This headband MP3 player—straight from ~~Bespin Cloud City~~ the Japanese company Evergreen—has a 96x64 pixel three color built-in EL display housed on the left hand side of the earphone. The EG-HPM also has a built-in mic for voice recording in either MP3 or WMA format, and a rechargable battery with 15 hours of juice. It comes in 256 MB and 512 MB, for around $130—but you're more likely to see this at a Star Wars convention than in an American store anytime soon.
