Last year, the company iRiver together with Disney has created an original mp3 player that looks like Mickey Mouse head. The player has been created for the Disneyland in Hong Kong, and now they created new version with two new colors, an additional gigabyte of memory and LED lights, which helps Mickey express his emotions.

The player is fully functional gadget. Mickey’s ears are in fact used to control the volume and files stored in memory. Adjusting volume is done very intuitively by turning the ears. New elements in the iRiver Mickey MP3 is a set of LED’s which create 20 different expressions on the Mickey’s face, which are assigned to different functions.

The gadget has 2GB internal memory and can play files in MP3, WMA and ASF formats. Communicating with a computer and battery charging is done via the USB port. A battery is sufficient for listening music for 9 hours. I think that this is quite an interesting player for the youngest, even better than the recently presented Creative Zen Moo. iRiver Mickey MP3
