Here kitty, kitty

Unlike Tweety Bird, we absolutely lurrve kitty cats, especially those that can sing like a canary. iPod in a pussy suit? Bring it on, we say. Meow. Feline fetish notwithstanding, it's a good thing we are not into calicos because this silicon pouch comes in only two colors--black or white. Available only in Japan. More info here

SharePlayer

Ready or not, here's another MP3 player. This one from Xmultiple is really an extension of its FlashPoint thumbdrives. So don't go expecting any iPod-inspired design here. What it focuses on is portable convenience, utlizing its Sharing-On-The-Go (SOTG) firmware which lets you connect, download and share files directly from another USB MP3 player sans PC. Simply attach devices and hit a button. Works, too, for downloading photos or data from a USB-ready digicam or phone.

Price: US$169.99 (1GB) to US$259.99 (4GB)
Availability: See sharedrives site
Device: MP3 player
Basic specs: Sharing-On-The-Go technology patent pending, MP3 player-to-MP3 player direct connections, combo MP3 player, MP3 SharePlayer and Flash Drive device, 75g

When pod and Zen collide

Should the Cupertino cabel crash headlong into the Jurong East juggernaut, you bet sparks are going to fly. Bluesun must have been hoping for a supernova sales spike when it decided to cobble an iPod-like Click Wheel with the Zen moniker. It's large, bereft of a screen, comes with an SD card slot, runs off an AAA battery, and sports a one-way ticket to libel hell. More info here

Get Creative, get a shirt on your back

Over yonder at Creative's site, cowboy. It's so dang fine, we've half a mind to ventilate the webmaster hombre at Creative and lit out with the rest of the posse. Only it'd be a shame if we left nothing behind for the poor fellers who took part in the Zen Neeon Spot the Stik-On contest. Them four T-shirt designs are styled after the Neeon Stik-Ons and include the likes of Bohemian, Reggae and Breakbeat. But we reckon we are right partial to Country. More info here

Diamonds are forever

Over 580 diamonds worth 10.32 carats in total and set on 120g of 14K white gold. Wow. That's like serious bling bling and a big hole in the pocket for the boyfriend. Opulence never got so grand for the wee player from Apple. We are predicting a larger version for the iPod video which will come with rubies, emeralds and sapphires (read: RGB). We would like it to be named Pricey Pixels. Though we wouldn’t care less if they gave it a crap name like Colorful iPod Casing, as long as someone gifts it to us. More info here
