Not everyone wants/needs/can afford an iPod, especially the young ones. This is an adorable alternative for young kids who have a kawaii fetish. These Chinese Horoscope MP3 players are cute and for about $30 you can get 2 GB of space and five hours of play time. Sweet! Get it at Geek Stuff 4 U.
I love this concept design for a MP3 player that is modeled after old cassette tapes. The NVDRS Tape runs on kinetic energy–you have to poke your finger through one of the cassette tape holes just like in the old days. They would come in 45/60/90 minute capacities. These days that seems like nothing, right? Our iPods can play a new song for days at a time. The idea is to be selective, when creating a mix tape–the way we used to be. Some of us still are very selective (channeling High Fidelity). If the price was low enough, I would buy them and give them out. Since it’s still in concept phase, there is no detail on possible price points. Check out more pictures after the jump.
Okay, maybe we have too much time on our hands, but this is so worth it. We all hate Hannah Montana a.k.a. Miley Cyrus. As a cultural figure, we might even loathe her more than Britney Spears. At least Brit is now honest about being slutty. So you can imagine how much of a giggle we got when we feasted our eyes on the line of tech products that Disney has produced in the name of Hanny M, herself. Besides being ridiculous, some of these products are down right risky for you to give to your child. I believe the exact quote from the product pages goes something like this: “WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, or birth defects or other reproductive harm.” Uh, anyone else seeing red flags?

This product is probably the least offensive, just because kids like cameras and cameras are fairly cheap. I guess it’s a good way to ensure that your child’s camera does not get stolen at school, but there is no way I’d spend $50 for this piece of crap.
