Creative Asia announced the 32GB Zen yesterday and besides the obvious excellent storage capabilities it comes with a nice price tag as well; about $378. Cheap? Yes indeed. After all, you do get a credit card sized PMP with 30 hours of music playback (mp3, aac, wma), video (DivX, XviD, WMV, AVI, MPEG4 etc), photos, a 2.5" TFT display and a expansion SD slot.
There’s no word on when the 32GB model will be available globally, but the North American site does include it in the model dropdown (with an ‘out of stock’ mark), hopefully meaning it’ll be available soon.
Thodio sure isn’t the first company to try the wooden approach to iPod accessories, but despite its boring name there’s something about the iBox that intrigues me.
This solid, handcrafted iPod amp features a wooden, high gloss lacquered cabinet. The basic models are built in either oak, teak or mahogany but other woods can be used on request. The battery is rechargable and lasts for about 15 hours and the whole thing offers 2 x 25 watts output power.

Here’s “Shining Stone” UP3 S2, LG Electronic’s brand new MP3 player with a jewelry concept design. It’s all metal and available in 1-, 2- and 4GB models and in five jewel-influenced colors (black diamond, crystal silver, ruby red, pink topaz and sapphire blue).
Among the features we find MP3/WMA/OGG/ASF/FM-radio playback as well as voice- and FM-radio recording but although it does feature a 65,000 color OLED display it doesn’t do videos or images. File managing and battery charging are easily done by USB 2.0 though.

Is it just me or does the Triple Timer kitchen timer resemble a certain MP3 player? Well, I can imagine two reasons to get this $20 timer:
1) You want people to think you’ve actually bought a second iPod just to keep track of your cooking times.
2) You’re the kind of guy who likes to give fake gifts to your nephew, just to watch him cry when he realizes that he’s been fooled. Again.
Anway, if you want one you better get it before Apple’s lawyers spot it. Even though the scroll-wheel is becoming somewhat obsolete these days they eat companies that produces stuff like this for breakfast.

Evolve is a truly wireless iPod sound system from Griffin Technology. Each speaker cube is equipped with a Lithium-Ion battery pack capable of 10 hours of playback. When the juice runs out you place the speaker on its charging station and just wait for it to fill up again. Easy as that.
The speakers has an effective range of 150 feet and besides the regular iPod dock the base unit sports composite and s-video out as well as in- and outgoing female RCA connectors for non-iPod devices.
Xtreme Mac’s MicroMemo turns any iPod Classic+2nd/3rd gen Nano or Video into a portable audio recorder. Just plug in the detachable microphone and hit a button to record audio content directly to your iPod.
The main focus is on voice memos (meetings, interviews, random deep thoughts etc) but it seems to work well with other sources as well since you can hook up anything you like using the 3.5mm jack.
The recording time is displayed on the iPod screen in real-time and it’s available in both white and black.

To help fight breastcancer Microsoft and Ford offers a Warriors in Pink Special Edition 30GB Zune of which 100% of the purchase price goes to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. That’s right, all of it.
$250 is still more expensive than a regular Zune, but considering the cause it’s quite impressive.
(If you’re more into Apple and iPods there’s always the red special edition models where a portion of the purchase price goes to help fight AIDS in Africa)
