Bored? Get On The Personal Media Player Bus

Sometimes there can be something patently hellish about the morning and night-time commute. Crowded buses, grumpy children, sweaty people, a lack of security and delays can make the trip to and from work the most unpleasant parts of the day.

People in the middle and upper income brackets are becoming increasingly reluctant to relocate for work meaning US citizens usually spend an average of 100 hours commuting a year and people in the UK spend a staggering 132 hours a year traveling between their home and their job. It is not surprising then that personal media players and similar gadgets have been an increasingly popular item in shops and on eBay.

Music is a major distraction for people, so it comes as no surprise that MP3 players are a constantly strong seller for Chinavasion. The ability to program music that the listener likes, in many cases set the parameters that the person interacts with the world in, as well as store the information needed at work and in the home have made the MP3 player as essential as a person’s keys, wallet and cell phone. The shape of MP3’s have been constantly changing with watches and even sunglasses becoming MP3 capable.

For those interested in listening to music and having conversations on cell phones without holding anything, the Bluetooth MP3 sunglasses with cell phone capability is a good option. They don’t only have the very marketable aspects of providing handsfree calling and enlisting an MP3 player, but they also do so in a stylish lightweight frame which is sure to stand out from the ‘Star Trek’ clone headsets that have permeated the market.

However sometimes wearing sunglasses at night or in an enclosed space can be slightly conspicuous, so perhaps an MP3 watch is more of an acceptable option? Not all MP3 and MP4 watches come with a digital face, with this stylish analog watch hiding a 2GB MP3 player with Bluetooth headphones.
