The Mix Stick comes with 128MB of built-in memory and is expandable to 1G to store data and music files. It is expected to sell for $49.99. The MP3 players also feature an SD/MMC card slot for as much as 1GB of storage, or approximately 500 songs. The Mix Clip memory cards carry full-length albums from Walt Disney Records and are compatible with computers, cellular phones and other devices."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/disney.jpg" /> <br /><br />The toy MP3 player thing has already been done (and failed). While this seems like a better implementation, I think most kids would prefer to have the adult version rather than a cutsied-up and dumbed-down version. Plus, while memory cards have gotten cheap enough to make this method of distribution possible, the Mix Clips seems like a solution to a non-problem.
