MP3 Alternatives

A coworker showed me the VR3 MP3 FM Modulator this morning. It retails at Walmart for $30. At this point you may be saying "so what?" That is what I was saying to him. I'd seen these sorts of things before. I even mentioned them in a previous post.

This one is different though. It does the work of those other guys, that is true. However it is also an MP3 player in its own right. On the bottom of the unit is a USB port. It will play the MP3s stored on any flash drive you plug in there (up to 512 mb capacity). Now a 512 flash card is cheap, about $40. So for $70 you have a pretty decent MP3 player for your car. My coworker reports that the sound quality is pretty darn good as well.
