Shocker: 'Barbie' MP3 player is pink

It's pink, it plays MP3s, and it's got a "Barbie" signature. Is there really anything else left to say?

It's unclear whether the Korean-made "INNO B2" is licensed by Mattel, but we would be surprised if it was. The toymaker already has its "Barbie Girls" MP3 player, which is tied into its whole Webkinz-like online strategy.

Whatever the case, this player has an OLED screen, 2GB of built-in storage, a radio tuner, and a USB port, according to Akihabara News. It could also be easily mistaken for a makeup compact because it has a mirror for quick touch-ups. But for those who aren't quite ready to accept a virtual Barbie, there's always the lip-syncing "Chat Divas Barbie Doll."
