Evergreen's do-it-yourself Acorn DAP and speaker pair -- but why would you?

Funny, that DAP on the left looks more like a grenade than an acorn to our jaded eyes. Nevertheless, you're looking at the "Acorn-type" speaker (?3,499 / $31) and MP3 player (?6,999 / $63) from Evergreen. The DAP hosts 1GB of flash for the all the MP3, WMA, and/or OGG files you can stuff in a shell. Just the latest creation from Evergreen's new DIY DAP kit (pictured after the break). Hmm, a pair of nuts, wood... you so naughty Evergreen.

I'm sure with that DIY kit people will make something more interesting than a DAP acorn... Bring on the modding.

have you guys at engadget ever been bored enough to mess with a DIY kit?

This is more like a model kit imo. You don't really get much choice in how it ends up. Not like the MP3 player on MAKE.

Anyone else think these things look like a salt shaker and pepper grinder?

...the museum of Nazi memorabilia called. They want their grenades back.

so if you had a gig or less of music... you could say to someone, "this is my music collection in a nutshell." interesting. how delightfully punny.

Just make sure that when you're outside, never accidentally drop it and leave it on the ground for more than 5 seconds. Otherwise some squirrel might have it for lunch.
