Eye Controlled Mp3 Player
A company in Japan has developed headphones that sense eye movement. Look right to left to pause your music, roll them clockwise to increase the volume. NTT DoCoMo, the company who created the new technology, doesn't have plans yet to market or sell them, but if this catches on we could soon see some pretty crazy eye moving in public.
They work by sensing tiny changes in electric charge; apparently the cornea in our eyes has a positive charge, and changes in charge can be detected as far away as your ears.
I'm sure there will be a way to distinguish actual commands, because if not, there would be a lot of eye movement done to correct inadvertent commands...

Annoying interface: Origami Play mp3 player
Making the rounds on the net, is the release of this "Origami" mp3 player.
The interface would most likely become annoying quite quickly... maybe that "innovative" interface could appeal to die-hard origami tournament players that might want to keep on top of the game... or maybe as a gag gift?
Interesting to play with for a while, but I wouldn't say it would be anything practical at all.
from yanko.

Ryobi Tek4 Allplay Music Player
Applying for a hardly thought-of niche: Construction Worker mp3 player, Ryobi offers this specially built gadget that can suffer any tough treatment. It might look like a flashlight, but I'm guessing that's just so that it blends with you other tools. Might not be only for job sites, it might be used anywhere that water, dust and impacts may affect any other normal mp3 player.
With 2 GB, it's battery should last about 72 hours. Sold for $70.

Cheap Mp3 Players on the Rise: Will Cds Remain?
When we talk about CDS, we are referring to compact discs in a form of pre-recorded media. These are physically distinct discs made of plastic that have music data encoded into them. Before the advent of MP3 players, CDs were an extremely popular form of music storage media. You can still buy CDs nowadays. Each CD has a collection of song titles and content which you buy and which will then belong to you. A CD can be played over and over again as you like. Provided the plastic disc does not get scratched, melted or even broken, you can expect your CD to last you for as long as it lives (or you live.)Continue reading "Cheap Mp3 Players on the Rise: Will Cds Remain?"

Newsmy B30 mp3 player
In the same manner as the iRiver B30 and the iAudio E2, Newsmy has a new product called the B30. Newsmy’s player, it is nice in a boxy way and should cost next to nothing–certainly but it is clocking in at 139 Pounds. Even though the name suggests itself as the B30, it takes more after the iAudio E2, which also has a prominent hoop. There’s only the 2GB capacity but it does play lossless audio formats.
