Hed Kandi's candy-colored MP3 player
U.K. record label Hed Kandi is looking to extend its reach from the dance floor to your pocket with its latest offering, a self-branded MP3 player pre-loaded with a few of its own tracks. It's hard to see anyone but the most devoted fans throwing down the pounds for this one though, with the player demanding quite a premium for otherwise lackluster specs. For £69.99 (just over $130), you'll get 512MB of built-in memory, an OLED display of unspecified size, voice recorder functionality, and support for MP3s and WMAs (DRM, too), with a promised 12 hours of playback from the rechargeable battery. If that doesn't dampen your Hed Kandi obsessiveness, you can snag one of these right now.

I'm from the states and I love the Hed Kandi comps... but I don't think i'm as devoted to get some branded mp3 player by them :)

They bought Hed Kandi... and ever since the music has sucked.

@Davik, interestingand you're right. This is something that escaped my notice. Apparently Tokyo Project was a dead-end (which explains the lack of recent content) but re-emerged as Fierce Angels. There a good post on the subject with a comment from Mark himself: http://www.simonjobling.com/?p=154 and details of the litigation mentioned: http://www.wptn.com/Mailing/Mar_29/details/Trademark/itma_5.html
