The player plays your tunes, while removing the spots

The Japanese prove once again what gizmo freaks they are! What would you say if I offered you an mp3 player capable of performing remarkable facials? I bet you would definitely accept it.

Just when I was thinking the gadgets couldn't get any weirder, I saw this. I couldn't get too much information on the player, as it is made, apparently, by some anonymous manufacturers.

They added a red glossy casing to the player, to make it irresistible to women, but completely forgot about any LCD or OLED screen display.

The newly released MPION mp3 player is expensive, but provides the user with extra benefits rather than listening to his/her favorite music. Imagine you're commuting in a crowded train, there is nothing more relaxing that listening to your Zen music collection while you indulge yourself with a relaxing face massage.

Even though it has a ridiculous price tag in Japan, the player didn't impress me, since it is capable of playing only 15 tracks and comes with no additional options. They could at least add an Fm tuner to the recipe, but they preferred to focus on the facial integrated parts. It has a built-in safety feature that prevents negativity overdosing.

When you get tired of listening to its music, which, by the way, comes in 128MB storage capacity, you can use the player as a personal massager, since it sports an integrated vibrator, capable of soothing your face in an instant.

The integrated ion generator is said to take a headache away and magically clean all the dirt of your skin's pores. Let's face it: the $170 price tag seems kind of spicy for a facial.

Let's just hope the thing is silent, as it wouldn't be too nice to hear some vibrator sounds instead of high quality music.

The MPION player sucks for music, but is great for facials. It is not too late to put an iPod on your birthday wish list!
