What in God’s name is this?  No, it’s not a flash drive but an actual MP3 player with speakers and a 1.1-inch OLED, yes OLED screen, called the Rad Blaster.  While I can’t get the word ‘vaporware’ out of my head, it includes a 3.5-inch headphone jack, a speaker that pops off to reveal the USB interface (it can double as a 2GB flash drive), mic, 7 EQs and is compatible with at least MP3, WMA, FLAC, APE, and AAC codecs.  You can grab it for $60.

Totally ready for dubious acts of all kinds comes this mini-USB voice recorder from some generic company.  You can record up to 40 hours worth of audio on the 2GB’s or memory though it will only record 4 hours on one charge.

The audio is stored as WAV files and also takes 4 hours to fully charge when connected to a computer or a USB wall adapter.  Seems pretty cool, but anyone looking to seriously record stuff on the sly might be already attuned to different gear with expanded functionality.

On sale now for $45.

The Lego MP3 player might be suitable for ages 5 years or older, but something tells me the only people that will be buying this gadget are the 30 somethings that grew up stacking these multicolored blocks.

The player sports 2GB of storage, an 8 hour rechargeable battery, LCD screen and a mini USB input.  The best part, though, is that it’s made from actual Lego pieces so you can perch it atop any preexisting Lego structure.

ThinkGeek has it on sale for $40.

EYE-FI INTRODUCES THE EYE-FI GEO APPLE EXCLUSIVE WIRELESS MEMORY CARD WITH UNLIMITED GEOTAGGING

Eye-Fi Offers Users an Effortless Geotagging and Photo Sharing Experience When Using iPhoto, an iPhone or MobileMe

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., July 29, 2009 — Eye-Fi Inc. today unveiled the Eye-Fi Geo card, a new wireless SD memory card exclusive to Apple that allows users to automatically upload photos from a digital camera to a computer and offers lifetime geotagging service. Available today in all Apple stores and online, the Eye-Fi Geo card is the latest addition to the Eye-Fi product family that is built to seamlessly integrate with Mac products and applications, including iPhoto ’09 and ’08, the iPhone and MobileMe.

“Apple users want simplicity and an effortless user experience, so it’s not surprising that a significant number of our users are on Macs,” said Jef Holove, CEO of Eye-Fi. “The Eye-Fi Geo is the perfect companion for iPhoto’s new ‘Places’ application to pinpoint photos on a digital map so memories are displayed in a richer, more meaningful way.”

The Eye-Fi Geo wirelessly uploads photos straight to a folder on your computer or Apple’s iPhoto gallery where they arrive automatically geotagged with location information about where the image was captured.

Eye-Fi continues to embrace its loyal Mac following by developing products that seamlessly integrate with Apple products and features. iPhoto ’09’s “Places” lets users search and sort photos by location using geotags from the Eye-Fi Geo card. Users can also upgrade their Eye-Fi Geo card to share images online at MobileMe or one of more than 20 other photo sharing and social networking sites for a $9.99 annual fee.

Earlier this year, Eye-Fi released the Eye-Fi application for the iPhone, which wirelessly uploads photos from the iPhone to the Web and into iPhoto, or organized folders on a computer. With Eye-Fi, users can aggregate all of their photos – from both an iPhone and a digital camera –to manage and share photos in one place regardless of which device the photos are taken on. Eye-Fi users with iPhones can download the app for free.

The 2GB Eye-Fi Geo card is available exclusively at Apple stores and Apple.com for $59.99. Eye-Fi’s complete line-up of wireless SD and SDHC memory cards, including the Eye-Fi Pro and Eye-Fi Explore Video cards, range in price from $49-$149 and are available at www.eye.fi, in store at Apple Retail Stores and Best Buy locations, and at major online retailers such as Amazon.com, Walmart.com and Costco.com.

Eye-Fi cards have won numerous Mac product awards, including “Best of Show” at Macworld 2008 and The Mac Observer’s “Editors’ Choice Award 2008” at Macworld. For more information, please visit www.eye.fi/apple, or follow Eye-Fi on Twitter @EyeFiCard.

Talk about protecting your data. The Shuriken shaped USB Thumb Drive holds up to 2GB of data and costs a wallet damaging $109. The best part, though, is that GeekStuff4U, who sells the thumb drive, warns that it is not a real Shuriken, but that it may have sharp edges so handle with care.

Update: It’s currently out of stock, but check back for new inventory.

Small, tiny and light weight are all necessary components for a successful MP3 player. Antares’ KPMP316 Sports MP3 player embodies all of these qualities and is available in 3 sizes (1GB, 2GB and 4GB) and two colors (blue or yellow). The right ear bud contains the player’s controls and a single wire carries the tunes to the opposing ear bud. Toss in a little of the Talking Shuffle’s vocal skills and the Korean company might just have a winner on their hands.
