While Apple zealots will no doubt deem the classic gray PC as too ugly even for the old iMac, it’s actually Windows & PC fans who will be more insulted in the video. Watch it and look at Mic’s (that’s the PC) third wooing gimmick to see what I mean.

With this matching pair of MP3 players, you can listen to different tracks, but still be joined at the hip.

Lovers MP3 Players

The interlocking Lovers MP3 players come together to form a single red heart, but can be played separately when you’re apart. And if you end up breaking things off with your partner, you still get to keep your tunes — a much better solution than cutting the iPod in half.

Just in time for Valentines’ Day to be over, you can grab the pair of 1GB media players from DealExtreme for about $39.

The MP3 Pillow, is a small pillow ( 9″ x 15″ x 6″) that looks like a giant music player. The pillow has a speaker and amp built in so you can listen to your music player while you drift off to sleep.

A hidden pocket in the back conceals your player and provides a mini connector for hookup. The giant “buttons” on the front can even control volume or change stations on the built-in FM tuner.

It’s just $19.95 USD and available now from ThinkGeek.
