Soda Can MP4 is Not All That Refreshing
As you might have guessed, the NXMP324 from Neux Corp is not what I would call a "serious" product, but those looking for something a little different may find its support for MP3, WMA, WMV, WAV and ASF file formats, built-in USB 2.0 port, FM radio, and 128MB to 4GB capacities mildly interesting.

For instance, it could be used for cola drinks, where you can just drink the basic cola or push a cherry or vanilla button to add those flavors if that's your preference. More »

Windows Vista Soft Drink
Microsoft commissioned special-edition cans of the Lemon-Lime Talking Rain sparkling water for their employees, complete with Vista logo and an intranet link for them to find out more information about Vista. Guess Microsoft needs to hype up the energy internally as well, since they're adding these to the stock of other free sodas employees drink. More »
