Well it seems that someone thinks that there is a market for a VW Beetle themed MP3 player. LG and VW have teamed to create a MP3 player that can hold either 2GB or 4GB of music, that was unveiled at the Seoul Auto Show this month. If you were hoping for an MP3 player that is shaped like a Beetle, then I am sorry to disappoint.
The LG MP3 player has a VW logo on the front and the Beetle symbol on the back. The unit has a 2.4 inch LCD screen and can play 20 hours of music or up to 3 hours of video. The unit can be color matched to your actual Beetle.
The overall idea seems kind of boring. This thing might have been cool when the New Beetle first came out. Now it just seems like a boring looking MP3 player to go along with a car that is in desperate need of a redesign.
There is no word on if and when this will be released.

With the popularity of the new Beetle, this mp3 player should sell well too.
The Beetle/MP3 player has a big screen. This should help it appeal to people. Call it the iBeetle? :)
I do not think the new Beetle needs a redesign. It is perfect the way it is; IMO.

This would be even more neat if it was Beetle shaped. Have the shape of the Beetle logo on the back. :) With the 'wheels' being little contrls and have a (almost) round shape for the screen. :)
