The silver-dollar size Virgin Electronics Wearable 128MB MP3 Player weighs just half an ounce and is ideal for people who love to enjoy music on the go. The Wearable 128MB MP3 Player delivers one of the best MP3 player values on the market today at just $99.99. Virgin Electronics announced its new corporate strategy in a separate release today.
"The Virgin brand stands for value, quality, innovation and fun. The Wearable MP3 Player is exactly the type of product that you'd expect from a brand like Virgin," said Joe Sipher, senior vice president of marketing for Virgin Electronics. "When we called it the Wearable 128MB MP3 player, we meant wearable. The product is so small and light it can be worn comfortably around the neck, arm -- anywhere. No pockets required."
The Wearable 128MB MP3 Player holds roughly 40 songs and includes one of the simplest interfaces ever devised. The Wearable MP3 Player doesn't need complicated software or even a power adaptor. Consumers just plug the player into their PC or Mac USB port to load songs and charge the device, all at the same time with the same cable. Two simple buttons turn the player on and off, skip songs and control volume. The Wearable MP3 player comes with an armband and specially designed earbuds intended to be worn around the neck. Consumers can also attach any standard headphones to the player.

Virgin Electronics Wearable 128MB MP3 Player...

Apple 40GB iPod...

That doesn't sound like such a great deal to me.
