Would you wear this eye catching mp3 player-pendant around your neck? It’s a bit on the bulky side, which makes it a very unflattering necklace. The new N11 player has all the functions its predecessor the N10 had plus FM radio, improved battery life, supports ogg vorbis audio format and a thinner necklace. It’s a good looking player, but it needs a longer chord or a smaller body. Available in black or rose red, the N11 comes in the 256mb and 1GB versions. [Via]
