Zune PR Head Says Babies Will Choose Zune
In a recent interview, Zune PR head Adam Sohn told the New York Times that “babies are born every day without an iPod. We will get there.” There being, presumably, more than the measly 2% market share the player holds now. But babies? Really? Microsoft, I think I've figured out your problem—you're going after a demographic with no buying power. And just like John Kerry touring elementary schools during the 2004 election season, I predict this fool's errand won't win you many more points. More »

TuneWiki Audio For Google Android Looks Very Impressive
This is TuneWiki, the music playback app that shows Karaoke-like lyrics and album art on almost all the music on your phone. It's been officially ported to Android and looks very, very impressive. They've added features like searching YouTube for videos of your tracks, plus searching their database for certain song lyrics if you only remember part of a song. There's also the built-in Google Maps API for looking at other people using TuneWiki and being able to see what people are listening to around a certain area. Yeah, we're pretty excited. More »

Sony E020 Walkman Lets You Match Your MP3 Player With Your Clothes

The E020 features a colored three-line LCD screen and a built-in USB jack with drag-and-drop MP3 transfer system (no SonicStage this time around, thankfully).

Acorn-Shaped DAP from EverGreen is Small and Woody
Monday morning, and contemplating the excesses of the weekend, I wonder where we would all be without wood. And then I see EverGreen's MP3 player, with its 28 x 35 mm acorn form, its 1GB flash memory, its MP3, WMA and OGG compatibility, and I think to myself, "Well, I'm glad I've got a 60GB iPod." More »

Barbie B2 Music Player Just Scoops iPhone for Gadget of the Year
Sometimes, it's hard to be a woman. Especially when you see things like the Barbie B2 touchscreen MP3 player, aimed at the female market in Korea. I don't think the player includes the pube-clad doll, but perhaps it would be better for mankind if it did. [Aving USA]

U27 Conical MP3 Player and Speakers Look Like a Warhead
The U27, with its neat military name, looks like something scary that Jack Bauer would defuse heroically while US citizens sweated in front of their tellies*. Luckily for us, it is not, or mass destruction of the world's population would be just an "Add To Basket" click away. The U27 is actually an MP3 player with built-in speakers that costs just $89.99. Considering that they throw in a Toshiba 1GB SD card at no extra cost, it's a bit of a bargain, really. [Deal Extreme via Shiny Shiny] More »

Minigigi MP3 Player a Cross Between Old-Skool iPod and Bubblegum
Kitsch lovers — and I can't be the only person on the site who's put in an order for the light-up Virgin Mary flash drive — may be interested in Minigigi's oneQ MP3 player, available in Korea. Tiny wee, inside its rounded hot-pinkness lurks 1GB of internal memory, a battery that gives you six hours' playing time, a built-in speaker, STN LCD display, voice recording and e-book functionality. As well as hot pink, you can get it in black, white and blue, and it costs a cheeky little $37. [Aving USA]
