The MP3 Player That Fits in Your Wallet

You know, there's a down side to all these super-thin, super-light electronic devices. Case in point: My brother-in-law loved his Motorola RAZR, but one day it ended up in the laundry because it was so slight he didn't realize it was still in his jeans. Yes, the phone is very clean. No, it no longer works.

So with that warning in mind, I direct your attention to Walletex's very thin, very light Wallet MP3 Player, just a few millimeters thicker than a credit card. It's so thin you can't actually plug your headphones in without a USB adapter.

The Wallet MP3 Player is due to go on sale in July, though if it's anything like its predecessor, the Wallet Flash, it's really meant to be sold to companies to use as branded promotional items. At least it's waterproof, dustproof and temperature resistant, so if you get one and it ends up in the wash, it might fare better than a certain cell phone.
