One MP3 player, one dream

by Candace Lombardi

Geeph.com is diving into Olympics mania with a 2008 Beijing Olympic Stadium "Bird's Nest" MP3 player shaped like the now famous stadium.

Priced at $19.30, I'm going to take a wild guess and say this isn't an officially licensed 2008 Beijing Olympic souvenir, despite the logo.

The MP3 player supports MP3, WMA, WMV, ASF, and WAV files, to name a few. It has an optional FM tuner, USB plug, seven equalizer settings, and a built-in mic for digital voice recording. Can it hold as many songs as the real Bird's Nest holds people?

Geeph takes the "One World, One Dream" message to heart, offering products for sale in British pounds, euros, and U.S., Canadian, Australian, or Hong Kong dollars.

Now if only they sold one in the shape of the Water Cube for that hard-to-buy-for record-breaking gold medalist in your life.

Of course, then it would have to be waterproof.

There's a map for that: GPS or smartphone?

Almost every handset comes with mapping software these days, but standalone GPS devices are becoming more affordable than ever.
