Forget about your fancy MP3 player. Back in the day, if you wanted a stand-out audio device, it had to be shaped funny.

The Wonderful Hand Radio is an homage to a bygone era, when you distinguished a clock by putting a radio in it, and you distinguished a radio by building a nicer clock. And as you clutch your cold, aluminium iPod, remember that people used to do great things with plastic. Great Things. And it only cost $US5. [Giz Fever via Geek Alerts]
