I rest my case... It is cute, small, and holds a few tunes, then when the tunes get old, you can then turn to the radio (built in FM tuner) Or, aww shucks, here is the pitch....:

At only 1 inch in size, the MobiBLU Cube is the world's smallest, full-featured digital audio player! Imagine:

1. combining hundreds of songs,

2. a voice recorder,

Cool New Toys

Tiny Hard Drive Revolutionizes Media Storage
The revolutionary StorCard, to be available in the second half of this year, is the exact size and thickness of a credit card and can contain from 100MB to more than 5GB of data. At first glance, it looks like a credit card and even has a magnetic strip like a credit card, for potential use in standard credit card readers.

The hard drive data, however, is accessed on a tiny spinning disk inside the thin card. This spinning wheel made of Mylar is engaged when the card is inserted into a StorCard Reader, a USB-connected drive or PC Card that reads and writes to the StorCard. The Reader is expected to retail for under $100 and the cards for under $15 each.

Amazingly, the on-board processor contains integrated software controls that can encrypt data securely in real time. The StorCard - like a credit card - is extremely flexible, without risking damage to the data it contains. Because of its high capacity and inexpensive price, the StorCard will be a viable solution for consumers and businesses. It will provide high performance to quickly handle large amounts of data and will support a volume sufficient to stream media files and could even store material that previously would fit only on a DVD.

Things that go Swoosh....

Nike has finale done it. They have tried before to enter the entersizement (entertainment and exercise mushed to make a word) field. Check this out, it is an arm band that you can fit your iPod Nano into and listen to music while you work out. I guess warring a belt during your work out is just not acceciptable any more. Me? I just turn on the radio and let the entertainment cabinet hold the radio. What is that? Ha Ha Ha (yes I am LOL!) what do I listen to when I am running? Normally the words, "Stop or I'll shoot." Running outside is over rated, People I use a treadmill, that way I am closer to the Fridge! Anyway, for about 40 Clams (US) you too can provide some one with a desire to play in traffic with a musical arm band.

Things that go ouch!

Sharp objects are more terrifying than bullets: A new horror movie survey says that impaling is the most common way for celluloid evildoers to do away with their victims.

The new Web site FamilyMediaGuide.com surveyed 100 of the most popular horror movies produced since 1975. It found more than 1,700 violent acts, with nearly a quarter of those involved victims being impaled.

The most violent film was 2003's "Freddy vs. Jason," with 167 violent acts, according to the site. Steven Spielberg's 1975 film "Jaws" came in a surprising second, largely because of the number of times the great white shark chomped into its victims.

Honorable mention went to Tim Burton's 1999 film "Sleepy Hollow," which featured 27 beheadings.

Oddly enough, the "Halloween" films didn't receive a mention.
