If you’re not interested in cheap MP3 players, you might want to check out a brand that gives you the basics in a fancy casing and equivalently fancy price tag, though no specifics on actual MSRP for now. Designed by Jaroslaw Westermark, the A10 is made of Blatic amber, silver and 18 carat gold. Apparently, [...]

I’m going out on a limb here by declaring Coby’s new MP600 an iPod clone. It kind of looks like the most recent Nano but only in the most broadly gestalt sense. It’s all of 8 ounces and measure 0.4 x 1.6 x 3.1 inches. The rest of the specs are as follows: 1.44-inch screen (CSTN [...]

This is the cheapest music player I can find out there right now, but I have received numerous emails lately related to cheap MP3 players and electronics. Here’s what it doesn’t have: No internal memory Does not come with earphones No battery included What it is: Takes MMC and SD cards of up to 2GB (great if you’re already using SD [...]

OK, so what’s the best thing you can buy for thirteen dollars? You may have a lot of great things in mind; I have only two: A Great Haircut and some luscious thing called the Cute Asian Girl–that is, the 1GB Cute Asian Girl MP3 player. Cute Asian Girl is pretty tiny–47mm x 29mm x 13mm–and [...]

Well, almost. The 2GB Micro MP3 measures an infinitesimal 47 x 16 x 9mm, or almost as small as the iPod Shuffle 3G’s 45.2 x 17.5 x 7.8 mm. This Micro MP3 player doesn’t use fancy earpiece control, instead sticks to the simple volume and next buttons on the side. For 13.8 euros, which converts to [...]

Here’s one novelty gadget you shouldn’t miss, even if it’ll cost you twenty-two bucks. Sure, you can get a Logitech Laser Mouse for the same price, but wouldn’t you rather have a mouse that flips open into a Skype phone, complete with alphanumeric keys and an LCD screen? I have a feeling this is going [...]

A number of wholesalers have posted their silicon protective skins for the iPod Shuffle third-gen. As expected, these would be very tiny cases. One even in includes covering for the clip. I’m not sure this is a good investment for manufacturers, since the new Shuffle is too tiny for scratches to be noticed. Of course, [...]

The SmartQ 5 might look like a bargain, but that remains to be seen until an actual working model comes out. The Sony Mylo 2 (COM-2), on the other hand, is such a steal for $199.99 (after a $100 rebate) that there’s nothing left that only refurbished models can be bought. For refurbs, you can [...]

Also dubbed the “HipTop mini laptop,” the Dee-PC looks nothing like the original netbook from Asus, the EeePC. Besides the 7-inch 800 x 480 LCD, 533Mhz ARM processor, WiFi, 2GB of RAM, the Dee-PC also features, and perhaps more interestingly, Windows CE. I’m hoping this is what Quarta Mobile have in mind regarding CE’s small [...]

HiPhone must be kicking itself for not thinking about this first: TESO gives you the MacBook Air TESO, an almost eact replica of Apple’s MacBook Air, only with better air vents at the bottom compared to MBA. Hopefully, the MB TESO doesn’t run Vista, because we know next to nothing except that this MBA clone [...]
