Inesa Malafej and Arunas Sukarevicius from Lithuania must love music and have a great body. The designers must love their musk so much that they can’t stop listening to music while running or working out. They have lunched the cool Dancepants Kinetic Music Player which generates electricity when you run which is in turn used by the mp3 player.

So long as you are running, you will have the mp3 player playing. If you stop running you may end up not being able to listen to music. It is an amazing idea I must say. When you are in the park, you could jog for many minutes and listen to your favourite music all along. Just make sure you hear if someone is calling out your name from behind. The MP3 player can be easily kept in your pockets.

The kinetic energy is converted from your feet when you are running and that electricity helps you to listen to music. I somehow don’t get the idea of this product as the music would stop once you stop running. What if you had to stop for a minute to catch breath and would not like to the music to stop playing? I guess you need to carry an iPod as well. So much for going green!

Joonho Choi has been inspired by the yin and yang energies. The cellphone device consists of two parts, which are connected by retractable or stretchable cord. The cellphone doubles up as a medium to entertain the user too. It doubles up as an MP3 player and triples as a small camera. The concept phone can also convert data to share with friends and associates. When the two parts are split, or rather when you pull the cord connecting the two pieces away, one part can still work as a phone while the other can work as an MP3 player.

The three-in-one phone would have its share of admirers once it is out in the market. At least, that what its pictures promise.

David Turpin is one of the most respected and admired designers ever. He has always designed the most venerable and admirable concepts till now which are chic, sleek and yet technologically advanced. Here is the Multi Functions Electronic Device. The device is a slab which functions as many things yet looks like it is a simple electronic mat which reveals time.

In fact, it reveals time too. You could choose between the gadget functioning as an mp3 player, a radio, a clock or even a calculator. You could manipulate with your fingers and hands to make the gadget work as different gadgets. It is a well thought out and intelligent design which would be great to buy if ever manufactured.

Unfortunately it is just a concept and there is not much information available about its availability and price. You could contact the designer for more information and perhaps you could find someone to actually manufacture and market this cool product too!

When it comes to tapping the alternate energy source there is no arguing that we are not just tuned into solar power but are digging into it as we speak. There are tons of gadgets out in the market today that sport a solar panel to charge them up and yet this is not even remotely sufficient if we need to get to a day when this entire planet runs on green energy. Gadget geeks and music freaks most often translate automatically into eco-conscious citizens as well (though not always) and it is to this special breed that the tunes Solar Sound would be the perfect musical symphony.

Solar Sound is a Bluetooth Speaker that is light and portable while still being able to produce a deep, clear sound and doing all this and a lot more by drawing its energy from the wide solar panel hat it sports. Created by Devotec Industries, Solar Sound is the perfect green and clean accessory to your current music system, MP3 player, iPhone, iPod, mobile phone or any other gadget that needs a portable speaker to let the world know your taste in music.

Sporting a size of 16.5 x 5.5 x 5.5cm and weighing just 260g, it even comes loaded with a touchscreen that allows you to control your audio content, a built in mike in case you are integrating it with a phone and even a 3.5mm connector which facilitates its use with music sources that do not have Bluetooth. On full charge it can go good 8 hours at medium volume and about 4-5 hours at peak sound. While this cool USB Solar Charger would charge your gadgets anywhere, a 12-24 charge in the sun will make Solar Sound the perfect companion and will make your green audio collection complete.

In all honesty, the Droplet CD Player looks like it has been made from the left over parts of a huge and old hard drive. But the makers claim that none of that is true. In fact, the player is designed so in order to stand out from the other home stereo gadgets adorning your house.

The player in reference is actually a smaller version of Consonance’s flagship CD player called CDP5.0 (which alone has enjoyed 2 awards of ‘Products of year’ from Germany and USA in 2006), though it might not be evident at first glance.

Droplet CD player has an advanced digital and analogue design, construction techniques and components which have been picked after careful research. Be assured on a 24 bit oversampling, zero clock jitter sound machine which will make everyone in close vicinity skip a heartbeat. Every last bit of sound will be squeezed out of your media of choice. After all, it can process signals as high as 768 kHz to release all the information available in your CD disk library.

Available in three color choices, pay $3,090 to make it yours.

Diamonds are forever and gold is man’s favorite metal. If we add a little ‘music’ to these precious elements, we would get the TrekStor ‘i.Beat Organix Gold’ MP3 player which was originally made for a Russian-Canadian billionaire. Apparently this is the world’s most expensive MP3 player and costs a shocking £15,000. It is rather funny how people love the bling and there is no exception to race, gender and age when it comes to the yellow metal and diamonds. With about 63 diamonds studded in the 18-karat gold cast, this MP3 player will surely grab anybody’s attention.

Imagine listening to music on this MP3 player when you go hang out with friends in that special place. You could make all your peeps squeal in envy. You literally will shine for as long you are there, and no man or woman can take away the glitter from you, unless you don’t care about prying eyes.

However, make sure you have an equally flashy club or stick to carry with you, in case someone gets too friendly with your ‘i.Beat Organix Gold’ MP3 player.
