Samsung TicToc MP3 mimic salt shaker interaction
Leave it to us Asians to figure out a way to take a mundane device like an mp3 player with no screen and repackage it into something cute and interesting.

Newman B30 Goes After iRiver B30 and COWON E2
In the same style as the iRiver B30 and the COWON iAudio E2, Newsmy has a new products dubbed the B30 MP3 player. Newman or Newsmy’s player, though is charming in a boxy way and should cost next to nothing-certainly not 139 p0unds. The name may suggest that the Newsmy B30 takes after the iRiver, it has more in common with the iAudio E2, which also has a prominent hoop built-in. Unfortunately, the Newman B3o isn’t officially available for order. There’s only the 2GB capacity but it does play lossless audio formats, which I heard is really sought after among audiophiles.
