MANOI, the robot with some KHR-1inside You probably know Kondo's KHR-1, the small remote controlled robot (and if you have no clue what we're talking about, use the search function on Akiba ;) ).

Cheaper MP3 players
Well, Evergreen are selling an MP3 player for 7 euros.
This litle beast is amazing. Runs for 5 hours on 1 AAA, and uses 1GB SD cards.
We should have disposable MP3 players quite soon, I reckon...
