The deets are slim, but they come straight from a BBC News article, so we’re thinking there just might be some weight to them. Apparently the UK’s BBC is planning their very own DAB device to act as “clip-on” addition to current MP3 players. Such functionality extension brings the iPod and its dock connector quickly to mind, but BBC isn’t naming any names as far as partners go. Right now they’re mainly studying the feasibility of such a device, with the main goal being to “make sure that people can listen to digital radio on their own terms.” They’re also looking into versions for mobile phones and cars, and say they’d “like to get something out sooner rather than later.”

Runners need an ipod with no movable parts, which might be damaged with movement,
so look at flash-based MP3 players. Many include a radio tuner and voice recorder and some even support SD cards (Secure Digital), CompactFlash, SmartMedia cards, or MultiMediaCards, relatively inexpensive memory cards also used by digital cameras and some PDAs.
If you already use a memory card for other devices, buy a player that supports the same type of memory card, and use your storage media with all your devices. Popular flash-based MP3 players include the Apple iPod Shuffle, iRiver iFP series, NOMAD MuVo, and Rio Forge Sport.

Egge - the egg-shaped multimedia player
Yes, you’ve guessed it - the Egge is so called because it looks like an egg. And this miniature 512MB or 1GB player from Korea also packs in the features, including digital audio, video, FM radio and a voice recorder.
It’s certainly got an eye-catching look, with the egg shape maintained by integrating all the controls inside - the only protruding parts are the catch (so you can wear as a pendant) and the USB cover. The Egge is a video player for WMV and AVI format clips, but features just a one-inch screen. This is compensated for by a glass covering that magnifies the screen to produce a more useable viewing area. And here’s a neat trick - a press of a button flips the screen upside down, so you can view it whilst wearing it round your neck.
For audio, it plays MP3, WMA (no DRM) and OGG files, along with FM radio. The Egge also features an FM and voice recorder, along with an equaliser. Music is transferred via drag and drop from your PC and battery life is around 10 hours per charge.

BBC accidentally reveals video iPod?
Want some more evidence that Apple is getting ready to drop a video iPod on us next week? (Yeah, we know this contradicts what ThinkSecret reported earlier today about Jobs unveiling new Power Macs and PowerBooks.) Well, according to our good friends over at iLounge, earlier today BBC 6 accidentally let slip that, “Apple is set to unveil a new video iPod at the BBC Television Centre in London on October the 12th,” and that the company is “expected to reveal details of the new MP3 and video player as well as video bundles to be available from the company’s iTunes stores.” Stands to reason that the BBC would be one of Apple’s content partners — they’ve been notoriously forward-thinking in their plans to put their TV and radio show archives online — and somewhat suspiciously the broadcast mentioning the new iPod has since been pulled from the BBC’s website. The plot thickens.
