Aren’t you tired of the peppy looking MP3 players that have gotten sleeker by the day? How can one even think of carrying these along with elegance? These are all about looking cool and definitely, looking cool isn't possible with the formal attire that most of us carry to work. So here’s something that looks as much at home on a three piece suit as a pair of cufflinks. It’s called the Gentleman MP3 Player and has a single line LED that displays the name of the track that’s playing. It somehow reminds me of railway station indicators, but who cares a damn. When you want the music you should get it (without too much compromise). The ingenious design is something that will provide you with the perfect disguise of a music-holic. Just clamp it to your tie and pack the flash memory with your favorite music and no one can tell whether you’re listening to Pavarotti or Pantera (save for those who pay close attention to the display)!
