If you couldn’t believe the prices of all the Chinese DAPs cropping up everywhere recently, then check out this $15 mp3 player and card reader combo from USB Geek. You don’t get any extra bells and whistles, but you do get plug-and-play and drag-and-drop functionality over USB 2.0, 10 hours of playback time on a single AAA battery, and storage capacity only limited by how many SD, miniSD, MMC, or RS-MMC cards you can fit in your pocket.
Weighing just 0.67 oz, the player measures 7.9 x 3.1 x 2.0 cm, comes with a pair of headphones, and is compatible with both Windows and Mac. For the price, this is a great companion at the gym, not to mention a foolproof mugger repellent in bad neighborhoods.

au contraire… white set of earbuds attached.. and voila! …you have a mugger attractant!.. until they find out what the buds are attached to.. then they might just beat you up, for not having better taste..

I might actually get this, I need something for workouts and other semi-dangerous activites I don’t wanna take my hd-based DAP on

Mh… you can get the MSI 538 or so for around 10 €… should be around $12? At least that one has a display. Oh, and reads SD cards.
