iriver's Mplayer: now in soul-invading "eyes" version

If you've been tickled or otherwise delighted by the sheer cuteness of iriver's little Mplayer in its multi-colored, gold, or pink-bow variations, this one might send you through the roof. The company has introduced a new riff on its Disney-branded music machine, and it's dubbed the "Mplayer eyes." The device comes sporting ten LED "eyes" (naturally), 2GB of storage, and can be picked up for around $50 in light pink and baby blue. Of course, the player -- which was shown off at this year's IFA -- is only available in Korea right now, but with looks like these, we have a feeling you'll be importing.

Good Luck finding a case for that thing. Worst Form Factor EVER.

Although if they did a Product(RED) version, they could sell it like hotcakes to Deadmau5 fans.

They're Disney-branded, alrightee.

Are they Disney-authorized, too?

I think I saw these in bangalore, India. Different colors, though.

This looks like a molecular diagram of water (H2O).

No, I'm pretty sure its Mickey and Minnie Mouse.

Bent sctructure! Oddly though the Hydrogens have both charges.

So, this will be the first mp3 player I'd buy for my daughter.

From what I could gather from the box of the original version, yes, they are authorized by Disney as an official product.
The old one was selling for $48 just a few weeks ago in Korea, and it had no LEDs and only 1GB.
It's no wonder that they were running out of stock... they were making a new one.
It's meant to me worn and shown, so I really can't see the point of making a case for it.

Ok, those scare the crap out of me. If I were a little kid and the only lights in the room were coming from that I'd flip out. It reminds me of the scary-ass twins in The Shining.
