Can you guess what's in my hand?

I'm sure you have no idea what this could be!














It could be a handful of change, or a piece of jewelry. Maybe it's a tube of lipstick or a memory card for a camera or some new hair toy. Give up? Scroll down.



















This is a MobiBLU. And what, you may ask is a MobiBLU? Scroll down more.




It's an mp3 player! Isn't it cute! Last year I got an Ipod Shuffle for Goldie who was just recently starting to really listen to music. Unfortunately, she put it into her back pack while on a school trip and it was stolen. While the Shuffle was nice, being only the size of a stick of gum, and which she could have and should have slipped into her pocket, it was only 128mb and had no menu to be able to make song selections. While browsing on line, I stumbled across this. It's only about twice the size of a sugar cube and comes in about 5 colors. This model is 512mb (more than enough for someone just starting to listen to music), but it also comes in 1 and 2gb. Now I'm no technology or music whiz (so shoot me Michelle!) but this was so cute (and 49.95) I couldn't resist! Sounds good to me.

I don't know if they're selling in stores now, but when I got it, I had to order it through Walmart.com. However, I checked again, and they no longer have it. But you can get it at
Target.com.

That's amazing! and a good price too (if I converted the currency correctly in my head!)
I think Apple received a few complaints about the shuffle - it's been remodelled and can now be clipped onto clothing.

Hasn't technology come along. I remember being very happy when I received my first walkman - it played cassettes!

I have put a link from my blog to yours - I hope this is OK

Hummm, really cool. My son would die to have one like this. You're going to be a trend setting with this gadget.

What a cool item! Thanks for posting. I've been coveting an Ipod Nano, but put it on my wish list because I needed a new laptop (which my sons got me for Christmas) and I wanted a new digital camera (which I ordered over the weekend with my gift cards!) But through your post, I might be able to afford some portable music afterall. Thanks for the knowledge!
