In terms of tiny audio players there are already a lot of choices available. But if you are one of those who are looking for really small yet super affordable MP3 player Hitachi has just dished out the I’m Muse HMP-X5! This player is also a very cute device that you can carry around wherever you go. It has a blade-like appearance with a monochrome display. And when it comes to manipulating the music to be played, it has a direction pad that looks just like the click wheel of the iPod.

As music buffs one of the usual concerns we have in terms of portable music players is the battery life. With this player you can listen to your heart’s content because even though it only weighs 1.3 ounces, battery life can be up to 16 hours! Impressive if I may say so. The I’m Muse HMP-X5 has flash memory that can store up to 2GB of audio. This device will be launched in Japan on July 12, no price has been established yet. Black and white are the only colors available.
