How low can MP3 player prices go?

(Credit: Chip Chick)

Just yesterday we were discussing the race toward commoditization among low-end MP3 players, and this is one item that provides positive proof of the trend. While the Delstar DS2209 isn't exactly on the verge of unseating the iPod, it certainly can hold its own in competitive pricing at $30. The compact player has 1GB of built-in storage and can an SD slot for more, as well as an FM tuner and voice recorder. It's definitely not what you'd call a fully loaded device but, as Chip Chick rightly notes, the price makes it practically disposable anyway.

That's damn cheap, awesome. Just a year ago I bought one for $40 that only holds 128Mb, barely an album if it's encoded at a killer bitrate!

I bought an ipod nano from ebay for $20.00 with 4gb memory on it last month. Its great works perfect for what I wanted it for. That $20.00 also included the shipping on it.
