UK site Register Hardware is highlighting a new Star Wars MP3 player. Doesn't seem to have much in the way of memory (512MB) but could be a lot of fun for younglings who are just getting into the digital music game. The player comes with an intergrated radio, USB cable and rechargable batteries. You can pre-order the player here at Forbidden Planet for £39.99. The scheduled release date is July 30th.



UPDATE: Our friend Shane, sent over the following:
