Apple MP3 player isn't actually from Apple. It's ugly, innit…
Really, who’d have thunk it. Who’d have thought it’d be a good idea to fashion an MP3 player in an apple shape? Could be ironic, I guess, but when they’re as cheap and naff as these, it’s so ironic it makes my head throb.
Available in a variety of colours, they play MP3, WMV and WAV formats, with an equalizer (wow! high quality, then!!!!), and even displays….
Oakley Split Thump MP3 sunglasses are less silly-looking
Let’s be honest: MP3-playing sunglasses are never going to catch on in a big way until they look just like a normal pair of sunglasses. Who wants a pair of bulky, strange-looking shades that will scream GEEK at anyone encountering you on the beach.

Nokia Music Store review: blow-by-blow with the wannabe iTunes-killer
So, Nokia’s Music Store has finally gone live in the UK this morning, albeit just slightly later than the promised 7am opening time. I got straight on there to roadtest the service and see how it compares to iTunes. My collected thoughts are below, but the topline is this: good design and usability, a nice selection of music, some niggles around payment and compatability, and the unlimited streaming feature experienced some early teething problems. But read on for the blow-by-blow account.
Motorola unveils T505 Bluetooth in-car speakerphone and digital FM transmitter
Motorola has unveiled its T505 portable in-car Bluetooth speakerphone and digital FM transmitter, offering full hands-free compatibility with Bluetooth phones or MP3 players.
Stereo Bluetooth phones, such as the MOTORAZR or MOTOROKR Z6 will allow music and calls to be streamed to the car radio, while users with ordinary Bluetooth phones can use the T505 to make and receive calls over the car stereo.
The T505 features StationFinder technology which announces where the best FM connection can be found on the user’s car radio. When calls come in, the T505 automatically mutes the music and audibly announces the Caller ID.
LG aims for the girls with the 'Shining Stone UP3 S2' USB MP3 player
LG has continued its assault on the iMarket, by launching a ‘concept’ MP3 player, the ‘Shining Stone UP3 S2’. Hmm, I wonder what gender they’re targeting with a name like that?
Available in black diamond, crystal silver, ruby red, pink topaz and sapphire blue, they have inbuilt flash memory capacities of either 1GB, 2GB and 4GB, and supports a whole host of formats, including MP3, WMA, OGG, and ASF. A couple of features they have over the iPod Nano are the ability…

That’s right, Nokia’s wannabe iTunes-killer is set to go live this Thursday morning (7am GMT to be precise). It was revealed at a launch event for the Nokia Music Store tonight in London, where the company was offering hands-on demos.
More free music downloads: this time from The Verve and the Charlatans
Those big bands can’t stop giving music away, now they’ve got the bug. We already knew that The Charlatans were planning to give their new album away with UK radio station XFM, but they’re kicking off with their new single ‘You Cross My Path’, which is available as a 256kbps MP3 download here.
Meanwhile, the freshly reformed Verve are also at it, teaming up with NME.com to give away, ahem, a 14-minute jam from their first session back in the recording studio.
