Retro Lego mp3 player

Have you always wished for an mp3 player that looks like something fun to play with but can do something unexpected? Well here it is! This high tech lego is about the same size as any other mp3 player but look like any 4 by 2 lego piece. It has the same functions as any ipod shuffle such as the play, pause, next song, previous song, and volume control buttons. You can pimp out your lego with any of the basic lego colors (red, blue, yellow, green, and white.) The only defect I see in the legopod is that there is no way to store the songs. You would have to get a microSD card of up to 2GB MAX. The built in Li-ion battery, fully charged can play your songs for about 6hours before it needing another charge. The price of the lego shuffle is only $46.

MiShare: iPod On iPod Action

This could be a huge pain in the butt for Apple. The MiShare allows iPods to share information without a computer. For instance, your friend has pictures, playlists or mp3s on their iPod, that you would like to have on yours, but you don’t want to go through the trouble of getting out the laptop, charger cable, and iPod reverse transfer software. MiShare makes it easy with direct iPod on iPod action. Just attach both iPods and press the button to start the transfer.

The Lars & Ivan Hybrid iPod Dock

I have no idea who Lars & Ivan are. It sounds like a swedish/Russian adventure movie based roughly on Bill and Ted's Excellent adventure. Whoever the hell they are, they know design. It provides a 40-watt amp to boost your speakers and generally looks damn cool.

The Ghetto-Box Gets An Upgrade

A Boom-Box for the 21st century. A geek's dream come true!

Lasonic's high performance system weighs a hefty 15 pounds and sports an iPod dock with 2 x 15W speakers . To top it off, it also features support for USB flash drives and SD/MMC Memory cards.

Currently, it is out of stock. No doubt, headed toward the basements of women who own adult geek children and comic-con attendees.

Geek factor aside, it's pretty damn retro-chic!
