This is Sony's new tiny little music player, It's shaped like an egg, has ears like Mickey Mouse, and blue and green lights on it. The Rolly has stereo speakers, directional sensors that let you control the volume level, and 1GB of flash memory. It costs a little under $400 and will go on sale in Japan at the end of the month. The battery life is about 5 hours, so it's perfect for a day at the beach or a hiking trip, where you don't want to be carrying too much shit around.

Hmm, very cute but I'd rather spend $400 on an iPod.
