You keep your iPod, I'll take the Moo-Cow MP3 player. This too adorable MP3 player is shaped like a cow's head with the controls located on its face. It can store up to 4GB worth of songs, which isn't half bad, but it has no display to actually see what you are playing. However it does sport an LED indicator. It also probably doesn't sound the best, but sometimes just being cute works. A set of earbuds are included and it is available in pink, blue, and white - the Moo-Cow MP3 retails for $30.00

When you think of Black and Decker - MP3 player compatibility doesn't usually come to mind. More like the Dust Buster does. But like every other company in the world, they too are jumping on the digital audio bandwagon. The Power To Go - Power Supply/Digital Radio isn't meant to jump start your car, but actually power up your smaller gadgets when you run out of juice. It has two 120V AC outlets, built-in rechargeable battery up to 12 hours, and built-in LED area lights for use in emergencies. The biggest coup is that that it has a MP3 player compartment with a USB port to play ...

We got to take a look at Samsung's new DAPs which include the P3 that was announced at CES. The P3 is the successor to the pretty successful P2. The P3 features a 3" widescreen touch display with haptic feedback, stereo Bluetooth, DNSe™ 3.0 sound enhancement technology , and FM radio. The P3's body is made of a reinforced die-cast metal casing which is supposed to help withstand fingerprints and scratching. In person the P3 looked pretty slick and the body felt strong and well made with a bright and colorful screen to complement. The P3 will be available in May with the following pricing: 8GB: $149.99 / 16 GB: $199.99 / 32 GB: $299.99. [gallery=133] Samsung's other new DAP is the Q2, which is obviously their Nano competitor, with a Nano busting price. The 8GB version retails for $99 and the 16GB will be just $129 when it goes on sale in April. The Q2 weighs just 2.04 ounces and boasts a 50 hour battery life, DNSe 3.0 sound enhancement technology , an FM radio, and a 2.4" QVGA TFT Screen. It will be available in the colors black and white.

Nothing new here except for the color of the W Series Walkman MP3 Player which is now pink.

And the most uninspiring DAP design of the year goes too... Coby's MP600 Video MP3 Player takes design cues from a certain MP3 player that you may or may not have heard of, the iPod Nano. The MP600 sports a 1.44" LCD screen that can play back MTV video files, JPG photos, read text files, and the device can play back MP3 and WMA files as well as allowing you to listen to FM radio. But overall the most exciting aspect of this player is its price tag, which is just a bit over $20 for the 2GB version, with a slightly more expensive $29.99 4GB version ...

I never really considered anything made by Coby all that great, but once in awhile they do release something that is a little bit different than its counterparts, that doesn't appear to be a total clone. The Coby MP565 Clip MP3 Player with LCD Display looks almost like a clothespin rather than an MP3 player. It's a cute little compact and convenient way to take your music with you and it even has a decent set of features. It supports MP3 and WMA files, shuffle playback, and has a LCD display with a 7-color backlight. It comes in black and silver and both have a 1GB capacity. The black ...

Just released is the Philips SIC4714BB/27 digital camera.  It's not your typical looking camera and honestly I'm not sure if it's trying to capture the Flip Mino crowd or what ...but with just 1.3MP it's going to have a very hard time. It shoots photos, video, and records voice memos  and it's small enough to slip into just about anything. Some of the features include a VGA resolution, a 1.5" LCD display and a SD expansion slot. No pricing is available yet, however I think you can find other ways to spend your money then on this useless item that doesn't do anything more than your cellphone does. Especially ...

This year Barbie celebrates a massive milestone. Her 50th birthday. So in celebration of that huge fete Mattel released a MP3 player in her honor commissioned by INNO Design. The B2 MP3 Player is a unique little player that could double as a cosmetic compact. The player is shamelessly pink because Barbie would have it no other way. Its also supposedly available in other colors. We could only dig up these images from the INNO Design and SOUQ.com that was auctioning it in Dubai. However if you are lucky enough to live in LA near frou frou Melrose Avenue, go to Fred Segal and you'll be able to pick one up in person. The player is accented with pink hearts, 2GB of storage, FM Radio and a mirror to give it that makeup compact look. The price varies and will range anywhere from $93 to $165.

This is the perfect MP3 player for those who enjoy a good swim but also want to enjoy some music too while being near wet conditions - and they insist on having a Pink MP3 player.

The funny thing is, the name of the device seems to be an oxymoron when it states you ...

The new SanDisk slotRadio is an unusual audio player. For just under $100 you get an MP3 player that comes bundled with a slotRadio microSD card that packs in 1000 songs.

The Powerplus Verio Wind-up MP3 Player is so ugly, that it even puts the very first original MP3 players to shame. The black and gray 1GB DAP is display-less, and style-less, though it can play WMA, OGG and ASF files aside from MP3s. Fortunately it does have a redeeming feature, and that is that it's powered by winding it up.  - No batteries required. 1 Minute of wind up = 15 to 20 minutes of music playback. In total you can get up to 4 hours of music listening time, which will give your hand a 20 minute winding up exercise session. To its credit the Verio Wind-Up ...

Now and again you may feel the need to share a great song that is playing on your iPod or MP3 player with a friend. Do you hook your player to a computer? What to do? - What to do? Well the AERIELLE i2i Stream may come in handy then. This little device will let you beam music from one player to another so you can share your music with your friends and family.

The i2i Stream broadcaster fits in the palm of your hand and can easily fit into your pocket. It almost resembles a car alarm remote in design. The i2i Stream consists of three main buttons that will be used to operate the device. There is a send button on the top portion of the device, a receive button on the bottom, and a channel button that is smack in the middle. The fact they included two i2i Streams is very handy and there is a point to it which I will explain later. The lanyard included is black and so is the clip because everything looks good in black!
