Runat busts out Pirates of the Caribbean TV, CD and DVD players
Runat is certainly no stranger to Disney-fied gadgets, but the company looks to have stepped up its game for its new batch of Pirates of the Caribbean wares, adding a suitably piratey touch to some otherwise unremarkable TVs, CD players, and DVD players. In addition to the stylish adornments seen above, the 14-inch TV with built-in DVD player also comes complete with a compass-style remote, which while less than practical would seem to at least be pretty hard to lose. Rounding out the pirate-themed line-up is a treasure chest CD player (check it out after the break), and a DVD player modeled after a ship's wheel (also after the break), complete with glowing skull, of course. While it's not clear when or if any of these'll make it to North America, you can currently get 'em in Japan, with the TV setting you back a hefty $245, and the CD and DVD player running $66 and $105, respectively.[Via Akihabara News]
Runat's MP3 player: finds use for kids and old SD cards
By now, many of you have been around long enough to have spread some seed while cycling through a couple of SD capacity/format jumps. As a result, you now have both children and unused data cards lying around somewhere. Assuming you can find either, why not reunite the two with the help of these "high-speed USB 1.1" MP3 players from Japan. Available in Minnie-pink or Stitch-blue to simultaneously baptize your children in the ways of The Mouse while offering subtle hints on gender roles. Not bad for ¥3,129 (about $27).[Via Impress]
