A clumsy hack, at best -- see all the 'empty' icons wiggling on top of the clock as het rearranges the lower three icons.
The way I see it: If life hands you an Apple, drink the applejuice.
"Basically" he would have been better off buying a real Hero.

Sounds like the same sytem Fiat/Alfa Romeo is fitting into several of their 2007/2008 range of cars under the moniker of Blue&Me. It has handsfree Bluetooth phone connectivity, plays media from USB equipped devices (including iPods) and (in the 'Nav' version) has integrated sat nav functionality.

IIRC these cars are available in Europe and Brazil.

Hyundai's new European hatchback, i30, has an USB/iPod port as standard; in promotional pictures, an iPod is connected to it, and the brochure states it'll play back the connected player's music (iPod or other MP3) over the factory fitted audio system.

So "the first Hyundai to come equipped with such a connector" is perhaps true for the US, but not world wide...

Even the name "Le Clip" is not original: In 1986(!) Swiss watch maker Swatch launched a watch-on-a-clothes-clip named Le Clip.

This is becoming a crowded market...
Bosch, DeWalt an Sangean offer similar beasts, see for instance (Dutch e-merce sites):

and

Looks like Shotcode (http://www.shotcode.com/) beat them both by several months...

This looks like yet another incarnation of the S1MP3 player. This thing is being sold under dozens of brand names, many of which just sound made up (mine is an "Axxion"...).
There's several models, capacities and firmware versions. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S1_MP3_Player for some background.

...and, VLC 0.8.5 will play the FLV files from YouTube without any conversion.

Seriously folks, as this is a mineral mine we're talking about, it seems to be two evaporation basins side by side. Presumably, the minerals (think salt or simlar) are underground, dissolved in water to be pumped up, after which the water is evaporated or drained off in these structures. This accounts for the click wheel shape: around the edges the water already has evaporated, in the middle there's still some present.

But kudos to whoever first spotted this!

This happened to the Intel iMacs as well, witness this report:
