New apple MP3 player with speakers looks quite familiar

Friday, February 26th, 2010

What do you do if your products go unnoticed, because all other cheap MP3 player manufacturers from China keep slapping Apple logos on their gadgets? Yep, you just take it to the next level by designing a whole device to look like the famous fruity logo. You can get the Apple Shaped Rechargeable Portable Music Stereo Speaker with FM Radio + SD/MMC/USB/3.5mm (Black) for $26.50/€19.64, or get the red or orange version for the same price. It’s basically a rechargeable speaker with a built in FM radio and MP3 player. No built-in memory, but it sports a USB port and SD card slot. It also comes with a remote and adapters to connect Sony Ericsson and Nokia phones. Oddly, no iPod or iPhone adapters are included, so you need to connect those using the good ol’ 3.5mm jack.

Portable speakers with SD/MMC/USB MP3 playback and remote

DealExtreme is now selling five quite similar products: these are all portable speakers with a built-in MP3 player, Li-Ion battery and a remote. Besides the looks and the prices, there are some subtle differences between the models. The capacity of the battery varies from 800mAh to 1000mAh and some don’t support playback from USB devices, so make sure you check the specs. All of them do support SD/MMC cards though. My personal favorite is the ‘Portable Rechargeable SD/MMC/USB MP3 Player Speaker with Remote Control’ in the middle that ships for $21.58/€14.84.  I don’t have any use for it, but it just looks pretty cool. The others cost $18.82/€12.95, $18.90/€13.00, $22.92/€15.76 and $26.32/€18.10.
