The MP3 Peanut from Nextar

In case you're fed up with bulky MP3 players which have pretty much the same design and cannot stand from the crowd any more, then you should definitely take a look at Peanut, the newest player from emerging manufacturer Nextar. If nifty functionality featuring neat-sounding technology and joyful design packed in a gadget of diminutive dimensions is what you're after, the Nextar Peanut is your deal for this season.

In the Nextar's catalog, this player is codenamed MA588 but “Peanut” is by far a much better name, in perfect coherence with its shape. Sporting a very smooth and flowing design, the Peanut is equally suitable for men and ladies, with color making the necessary difference.

You can choose the blue version and be perfectly cool with it even when taking a ride with your tough snowmobile; or you can choose red for your lady. Or you can go black and be able to match this small player with anything; keep in mind though that pink and silver variants are also available.

The Nextar Peanut is roughly 2” (less than 5 cm) long and can house an AAA battery which will give you around 12 hours of playback which is very cool, at the same time, thanks to its small dimensions and one-battery operation, the weight has been kept to a minimum for your comfort. This small MP3 player comes loaded with various playback modes like repeat one, repeat all, shuffle, intro, repeat folder, and random, and packs no less than seven EQ presets: normal, pop, rock, classical, jazz, bass, and soft.

You can choose between the 1 GB version, available for $19.99 and the 2 GB model retailing for $29.99. The Nextar Peanut is the perfect solution for a holiday present in case you were rather scarce on gift ideas. It is available at Staples, Kmart, Bon Ton, Canadian Tire and other leading retailers across the U.S. and Canada.
