MobiBlu squared: crystalized 1500i and new pics of Cube 2

Given MobiBlu's efforts to convince consumers that the company's tiny 1500i audio player can be worn as jewelry, it seems only fitting that someone has taken them literally, and produced a customized version of the player encrusted with shiny crystals. The DAH 1500i Crystal is a 2GB version of the player, and is available in the UK for £169 ($307). Of course, if you care more about music than about showing off your zirconium collection, you'd probably prefer to skip this one and wait for MobiBlu's upcoming Cube 2, which DAPreview reports will boast a 0.67-inch, 64x48 JPEG-capable OLED display (though we tend to think actually checking out pics on such a small screen probably isn't the best idea), SRS WOW HD, FM tuner and some sort of docking station. Still no word on pricing, availability and whether MobiBlu will try to convince 1500i owners to pick up a Cube 2 so they'll have a set to use as earrings.

I'm waiting for the day when someone announces a portable media player whose screen can be seen only with a microscope.

Nice pics, hopefully it gets released sooner rather than later and at the same price point the originals sold for (~$120 1 gig, ~$150 2 gig)

I'm going to save up for the future model with a 1x1 screen. That'll be awesome for JPEGs.

I'm waiting for the new cubeto come out and I'm gonna buy the 2GB one the day it comes out in black or red to replace my PSP. PSP is to big for lawn mowing.
