This device was mentioned on engadget or gizmodo a few weeks back:

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=3639084

No idea how well it works, seems pretty interesting, XM radio, reads mp3
cds, also has an SD slot for more stuff.  No idea on durability either
But it's rather cheap, nearly disposable cheap.  Plus, you've gotta love
the country of origin "imported".  I hear that's what they call China
now.

Anyway, do your part in supporting the chinese/korean/taiwaneese economy
and pick one up today[1]!
