Apple is going to want to take a long hard look at what ANTARES of Korea has done to the concept of tiny MP3 player. Presenting the ANTARES KPMP316 isn’t a Bluetooth earpiece for your MP3 player but the earpiece itself. Unfortunately the use of lithium-ion batteries (190mAh) could make this a million to one hazardous object, but iPods are pretty dangerous too so what the hey. The ANTARES KPMP316 weights a feathery 18 grams and measures 43 × 19 × 10 mm. It’s available in 1GB, 2GB and 4GB
Controlling this ear MP3 player is simpler and, well, a little like protecting the President of the United States. It’s split between the left (volume) and right (play/pause, forward/back and power) ear pieces. Both ear pieces are connected by a wire, which should also act as some sort of harness, I guess.
It’s a given the iPod Shuffle 3G is going to get some competition. Sony has announced its own a few days ago. Let’s hope both are priced competitively.

[...] Not that we haven’t seen MP3 players integrated into earbuds before, but we’ve yet to see any that give us more inspiration than these. Seriously, just look at this guy above — pumping iron, resisting the urge to shoot up a fine dose of ‘roids and getting all the motivation he needs from the Rick Astley jams that are undoubtedly streaming through. ANTARES’ KPMP316 DAP consists entirely of two enlarged earbuds and a cord to keep ‘em close; as you can imagine, the 1/2/4GB of internal capacity, play / pause button and volume rocker are all positioned just millimeters away from the actual drivers. Folks over in Asia can supposedly snag one in yellow, green, orange, blue, purple or black, but we’ve no idea what kind of outlay you’ll be looking at. [Via PMPToday] [...]
