Japanese company Evergreen shatters the mp3 price barrier with a player that costs a mere $8.50. Sure you need to insert a 1 meg SD card because the player lacks memory and everything about scream CHEAP, but t $8.50 who cares?
Currently only available in Japan, the stripped down player proves just how inexpensive many of the underlying parts of portable players really are and it opens up a world of possibilities for other products. Can disposable and pre-loaded players be far
behind? Photo and more info via Engadget.
UPDATE:Hypebot reader and music attorney Rob Falk turned us on to another "almost free" (ius you want need a flash card reader) mp3 player a $59.99 USB reader from zMate that doubles as an mp3 player.
