... models, priced at $19.20 and $32.56, respectively. Both models, however, have an LCD display and external controls.
This commemorative MP3 player supports most audio formats, including MP3, WMA, WAV and ASF. And if you feel like recording a bit, you can as the player contains a built-in microphone.

Popgadget: Personal Tech for Women —
... the Olympics live from inside the Beijing National Stadium? Why, carrying up to 4GB of music on the "Bird Nest" MP3 Player everywhere we go, of course!
