T3: With the Olympics being held in China’s capital, Beijing, you’d hope there’d be some dodgy, low-cost electronics to celebrate the successful start to the fortnight of international sporting competitions.
Fortunately, there is! Here’s an MP3 player designed in the shape of the Beijing National Stadium, nicknamed the ‘Bird’s Nest’, and displaying proper Beijing Olympics logos and everything.
We’ve no idea whether the logos have the official seal of approval – it seems unlikely – but these little devices pack in up to 4GB of storage space, an LCD display in the middle of the miniaturised stadium and full audio controls on the underside.
It claims to play a wide range of digital music formats, including MP1, MP2, MP3, WMA, WMV, ASF, WAV and more.
