Media player tries to ride on star power

We're generally not fond of car logos splashed across personal electronics, but this media player deserves some credit for integrating the Mercedes-Benz star into its functionality as well as appearance. With a tri-star logo taking the place of a click wheel, this handheld from NASD Technology is an MP3 and MP4 video player with a 2-inch color display, FM radio, and SD card slot, according to Tech Fresh.

But because it's made in China, we'll go out on a limb and guess that this isn't an authentic Mercedes-licensed product. Still, given that Mercedes seems to have trouble deciding on its co-branded products, this media player may not have any official competition anytime soon.
