Peapod toddler MP3 player
Canadian company Peapod is preparing an MP3 player aimed squarely at babies and toddlers, for whom a regular player would be too difficult or fragile to handle. Its enclosure has a child-sized handle, and is made of overmolded rubber, which should protect the player from falls, throws and chewing. Similarly, the display is a small monochrome LCD rather than an elaborate color model, and audio emits from a built-in speaker. Simple buttons allow playing, pausing and track skipping. A single AA battery should provide up to 40 hours of music, although critically, onboard memory can store only two. Peapod intends to show off the player at this week's Toy Fair in New York.
