Don't be fooled by this retro mini boombox wristlet by Loop Design. It may look like it's from the early eighties, but with working speakers, this case is tiny and mighty.

For only $14, you can use it as a cute pouch for your mp3 player or hook up your iPod to the speakers for a jam session!

Play Dress-Up With Sony's New E-Series Walkman MP3 Players

Sony has spiced up their latest E-Series mp3 players with hip new interchangeable jackets. Choose from a basic black or white models and then personalize it with over twenty different "Style-Up" panels. What's great about these NW-E-series walkman sticks which I spotted on Gizmodo, is the fact that they come with a USB plug that you can directly connect to your laptop or computer for uploading songs.
Sizes and prices include 1GB ($102), 2GB ($121) and 4GB for ($149). Expect to see them make their way to the U.S after their launch in Japan on March 8. Totally cute, but I'm still excited about the fact that the 1GB iPod shuffle only costs $49.

Fashion designer Vivienne Tam has teamed up with industrial designer Kitman Keung to create this bold MP3 walkman.

As you can see, this is not your standard walkman by any means. Maybe it's just me, but doesn't this mp3 player resemble a clip-on cell phone?

This sleek 4GB concept-edition player is set to be displayed at the Vivienne Tam flagship store in New York. Hopefully more info about this unique device will be released sooner rather than later!

Vintage Geek: 'Walky' Head Phone Stereo

These days portable music players are smaller than a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. But, back in 1984, they were roughly a bagillion times larger and of course accepted those cassette tapes you've been thinking of throwing out. The Toshiba 'Walky' Head Stereo, in other words Walkman, is one of my favorite retro chic players - in part because it's pink and because it reminds me of a time when I carried 5 or 6 mix tapes in my purse.

To quote a friend: "I remember a time when the three most important things in my life were my Walkman, New Kids on the Block tape and my acid-washed vest." Yep, sounds about right. For a comparison photo of the Toshiba Head Stereo and the pink shuffle as well as some fun vintage ads, just
