The Swimmer’s Waterproof MP3 player certainly isn’t the first waterproof MP3 player that we’ve seen, but you might as well check it out, in case you’re in the market and comparing various offerings. The player comes with 1GB of built-in memory and supports MP3 and WMV audio playback. You’re offered basic controls such as volume, forward/backward, and the all important play/pause button. The battery should last you about 6 hours, which is probably more than you can swim continuously for,

The 3Dinlife X5 Collection Version DV Player comes in 24K gold plate, with a laser etched signature and a VIP Gold Card. Wow, it must be so cool being in the rich spoiled brats club. It features an MPEG-4 recording twin lens 3D camera, with 3 megapixel JPG stills image capture.

The Mintpass Cube MP3 player is for those who love reading meters. The 2 inch cube also sports push button controls, analog displays for volume, battery charge, and frequency, 3.5mm audio out, and Bluetooth. No word on storage capacity or price.

Call us geeks, but we see this MP3 player and we just can’t help wondering what a Borg ship would look like with a battery meter on the side. Of course the Federation would always know when Borg batteries are running low.

This may be the coolest record player concept ever. The Void LP Player concept from Rhea Jeong consists of a magnetic levitating disc carrier plus a small self contained player in a ball with an integrated needle, amplifier and speaker all wrapped up in one. Truly a space age record player.

The record player uses a carrier and dock with a magnetic and auto-calibrating control system that holds the LP in thin air as it is playing. The record player in the form of a red sphere, contains a needle, amplifier and speaker and spins around the

Looking for a small MP3 player so you can sneak some tunes while you’re in class? Check out the Micro Sport Japanese MP3 Player, which is tiny (as pictured), but despite its small size, the creators of it managed to cram 4GB of storage space and a rechargeable battery inside it. Surprisingly, it also features stereo sound, with the other earbud attached directly to the side of the main unit, and will trail on a cord around the back of your head. It’s going for $89.99, which shouldn’t be too surprising,
