For just around $287 you can throw down tunes with this e ZEN X-Fi2 which offers you a nice 3-inch LCD display, built-in speakers, microSD card support, up to 25-hours of audio playback, 5-hours of video playback and even an FM radio tuner.

Yes, it’s time we started looking beyond the Apple of our eyes, isn’t it?

Although the lack of display leaves something to be desired, the N20 reinstates the iRiver pendant-shape with clever ease and comfort.

 Now, how many should we sign you up for?

Along with free shipping, you will get the 4GB MP3 Player as well as a free car pack and premium headphone set for $80.  A steal of a deal if you ask us.

With FM capabilities, Zune to Zune wireless sharing, wireless sync and video playback, there is no reason not to jump on this Zune deal.

Similar to the Samsung Pebble and Sansa Clip, this teeny weeny MP3 player does not come with a display in order to keep the size minuscule but does clip on to your belt and come with a reasonable price tag of $30 with a 2GB storage space.

This new 7” touchscreen displaymedia player comes with everything from a 8GB internal memory to a SDHC memory card slot and AM/FM tuner, with the upside of a very reasonable price.

If you’re in China, expect to pay only €90 for the BM-888.  And that’s a deal worth the drive!

Choose from capacities 4GB to 16GB, with expandable 32 GB for all you hard core music lovers.  But what’s really special about this Cowon is the BBE+ sound enhancement that will boost that audio quality to heaven and back.

These solar-powered sunglasses trap the amazing energy of the sun and convert it into electric energy you can power through the power jack, located at the back of the frames.  Now when your iPod runs low, all you have to do is sport these solar shades and you’ve made it in the shade.

Much more stylish than its predecessor, the Aquabeat 2 LZR Racer from iRiver and Speedo offers mobility, GB of space and the ability to listen to your favorite music at depths of up to three meters. 

Sadly, there is no display on the Aquabeat 2 LZR Racer, but you can scroll through your tines by using the up and down buttons attached to your head or armband.

The band “Journey” is releasing a 1GB MP3 player through ZVUE. The player will feature 11 brand new songs from their “Revelation” album, plus 11 additional tracks from the bands hit list.

The player only costs $39.88. When you consider it comes with an album, headphones, a built-in speaker, and a charger – that’s really not a bad deal. If you’re a Journey fan, you may want to take the plunge.

You can get yours today…at Wal-mart.

Creative is making great leaps with their audio players. Today they have revealed the Zen Krystal…which is the coolest tiny audio player I’ve ever seen. It has a very sleek black look to it (think of something the size of an iPod Shuffle, that looked kind of like an iPod Touch), including a blue OLED display.

The device has an FM tuner built-in, MP3 and WMA support, 4Gbs of storage, and a pedometer, giving it Nike+ like functionality. This is a very impressive little guy. Unfortunately we don’t know exactly what it will cost yet, or even if we’ll get it in the United States, but if we do – Creative may have a “Shuffle Killer” on their hands.

And that’s coming from a Mac guy.
