Appearance
This 256mb Mp3 Player looks much like a thumb drive, it is simple and small. The majority of the player is a hard plastic, but the back is black rubber, this helps keep it from sliding off surfaces. Easy to use joystick and function buttons round out the description of this 256mb Mp3 Player.
The downside is that while this sounds like a neat 256mb Mp3 Player, you cannot find them available at this time anywhere! That tells you one of two things they were either really great or really horrible!
Sunglasses?
Everyone it seems is getting into the mp3 player game, even Oakley. High on the list of strange features is the Oakley Thump, a sunglass / 256mb Mp3 Player combo.

The pros:
- You can use this player with a multitude of operating systems, MAC and PC
- Lithium rechargeable battery
- USB 2.0
- You will likely be the only one who owns a pair!
Cons:

You could give this 256mb Mp3 Player a ten for the coolness factor but for pure functionality, you might want to stick to iPod for the same money.
Toys
Along with adding odd features to a 256mb Mp3 Player companies are also making them into toys. Take a look at the Hello Kitty 256mb Mp3 Player available from Amazon.
