Rapper Puff Daddy's customized diamond-encrusted iPod may face some stiff competition if Samsung goes ahead with its plans to debut a bling'd-out digital music player. Unveiled at CES 2005, its YP-W3 Pocket Watch unit comes studded with (faux?) diamonds on a platinum casing. It may be flash-based, but this pendant musicbox offers up to 1GB flavors which should pack in sufficient tunes for a long jog in the park. Sweet and vulgar. It remains to be seen if the same goes for its price.
