Aigo F820 audio player - small in size, features
Sure, the aigo F820 flash-based digital audio player looks like a shrunken Rio Forge knockoff (the company calls it an "eye shape special looking"), only supports USB 1.1 and can run for just 8 hours between charges. What really matters is that the player can handle variable playing speeds, which is handy for playing back recorded lectures or interviews — or for turning Britney into a chipmunk. (It's out in Singapore now for S$259 — we're not holding our breath for a wider release).
