The Future of MP3 Players

By Abbey Khan

Whoever said great things come in small packages must have seen the future of MP3 Players. Skullcandy’s MacGyver MP3 Watch packs a lot for something so small. It not only tells time, it also holds up to 300 songs and includes my personal favorite, a built-in voice recorder.

Skullcandy cleverly designed this gizmo to run on two separate batteries so when the music stops your watch keeps ticking. Other features include a five-mode audio equalizer (Pop/Rock/Jazz/Classic/Normal), music shuffling capability, up to five hours of non-stop playtime, and you can listen to your favorite tunes in MP3 and WMA formats.

This MP3 watch is so hot, be sure to keep it in a safe place or someone you know just may borrow it permanently. “We are excited to offer a modern twist to the original wrist watch,” said Rick Alden, Founder of Skullcandy. “This watch, worn by tech enthusiasts, businessmen and women, and extreme athletes, is jam-packed with features that will totally rock your wrist.”

Available in black and white, the MacGyver MP3 Watch is sold in the capacity of 256MB for $169.95, 512MB for $229.95, and 1GB for $299.95 at www.skullcandy.com.
