Philips GoGear Key014 256MB digital audio player

For those of you dying to turn your USB drives into MP3-playing necklaces, this is your day. Enter Philips' new GoGear Key014, their wearable MP3/WMA digital audio player (we were disappointed to find out that this had nothing to do with GoGurt). While the idea still has potential, Philips made some bizarre choices with this one. Apparently, it uses a 2.5mm headphone jack rather than the standard 3.5mm, so you have to use the included headphones whether you like them or not (or spring for an adapter). In addition, transport controls are available only on the lanyard, so you're stuck in necklace mode. What's more, the buttons are part of the lanyard itself, making for some clumsy song switching. While the price at $150 is a bit steep for what it offers, we're sure someone, somewhere, needs the GoGear Key014 (not the people at CNET, though, who trashed it).
