This Acorn digital music player isn't going to win any awards for great functionality, but it's certainly one of the more original portable designs we've seen around these parts. It's made out of wood! It's shaped like an acorn! What more do you want?

It's loaded with 1GB of flash memory for your tunes and has a little nub ("stem") up top for skipping forward and backward through your music. There's no screen on it, probably for cheapness's sake rather than accuracy's, but it'll probably be cheap enough that you won't mind. Look for it to drop in Japan in the near future.
