Music Card MP3

Strapya’s products at best could be described as eccentric most of the time.  This product is definitely odd, but it would actually be useful.  It’s so thin you could easily carry it around or lose it for that matter.  Plus it’s not only an MP3 player that’ll play all of your music through your headphones, it also has a built-in speaker to play your music out loud as well.  Sure, it’s not going to be the highest quality of gadget out there, but it at least plays your music.

Zune HD

Zune HD owners rejoice.  Crickets?  Microsoft has recently announced that a batch of new 3D games is now available at the Zune MarketPlace.  For Free.  That’s right, the following games are available now for free:  Project Gotham Racing: Ferrari Edition, Audiosurf Tilt, Vans Sk8: Pool Service, Lucky Lanes Bowling, Piano, and Checkers.

Totally cool for free right!  Hopefully this will help Microsoft move some units this holiday season, but  having not yet seen an actual Zune HD in person, I’m interested in how good the gaming will be on this thing. If you are a Zune HD owner and download these free games and let me know just how 3D they actually are!

Sharper Image’s MP3 Wireless Speaker Fog Free

There are two things I don’t do in the shower: listen to music and shave.  But if you’re totally unlike me, then you’ll surely love Sharper Image’s MP3 Wireless Speaker Fog Free Shower Mirror.

For $70 you not only get a fog free mirror but an AM/FM radio and an MP3 player docking system that wirelessly transmits your tunes up to 100 feet to the mirror’s built-in 1.25-inch speakers.  Embedded in the reflective surface is a blue LED clock to insure you’ll never be late again and although you can’t change your MP3 player’s track, you can adjust the system’s volume and radio station from a set of on board controls.  The dock connects to any player by using a 3.5mm headphone jack, so whether it be an iPod or a no named brand portable player you’ll be good to scrub.

Philips Tapsters Likely Won’t Hit Stores

Several months back, we introduced you to the Philips Tapster headphones.  But there’s some bad news here for everyone who was looking forward to them–there’s now pretty much no way they’ll hit store shelves.

The folks out at Crave on Cnet’s Asian subsidiary believe they know why, too–they don’t work.

It’s a strange theme these days, gadgets that don’t work, but the beat goes on (or rather doesn’t) from these headphones.  They were supposed to be a major innovation in playback and volume controls, which are supposedly controlled by tapping and swiping the ear modules.  Under normal circumstances, this would dislodge them from the ear, but with these, they didn’t dislodge.  Something of an accomplishment there, but the problem was, the purported tap-and-swipe system of volume and playback control never materialized.

So a little bit of vaporware for you, folks…and that’s always at least a little sad.
