Oakley Sunnies and MP3 Player combined? About time!

It was only a matter of time before Oakley figured that it would be cool incorporating an MP3 player into their frames. Here's a picture courtesy of Gizmodo:

Oakley's first MP3 player incorporated into their sunglasses

The first set of converged Oakley sunnies is called "Thump" and integrates a 75Mhz DSP and an 18-bit Sigma Delta DAC with signal-to-noise ration of greater than 90dB. It can play MP3, WMA (DRM) and WAV files. This gadget is powered by a lithium-ion polymer battery and is reported to have six hours of playback!

The 256MB version is quite expensive at US$495 and 128MB at US$395. At these prices I think I'll stick to the separate components for now...although I know a good buddy (Fitzie) who would definitely use the MP3 as an excuse to acquire his 4th pair of Oakleys...[www.everthingusb.com]
