the week the gadget of the week is the
new music gremlin digital music player
now even though this thing is clunky and
kind of huge and it costs $299 for 8
gigabytes of storage the music gremlin
is cool because it's got built-in Wi-Fi
and its own subscription service for
downloading songs now you can use this
player to connect to unsecured Wi-Fi
hotspots or even security enabled ones

newspaper has alleged that Apple iPods
are built in Chinese sweatshops the
