cut and paste from a forum:

Ok, this one is for those who like to tinker....

At Argos you can buy a "Juice Box" (with MP3 connection kit) for
£6....

The Juice box is basically a kids media player thing that failed (It was
£80!)

Anyway, it has a 240x160 colour screen, accepts SD cards and more
importantly can be hacked....

It can become a MP3 player or one of those digital picture frames... you
can even get it running a version of Linux!

The Mp3 connection kit is worth the £6 alone. You get a Lexar 32meg SD
card (of not that great these days). You also get one of those USB to SD
adapter things (which muct be worth £4 alone). You also get a USB
extension cable.

It can run off an power adapter (PSP power supply works fine). There is
a lot of tinkering to be had for just £6!
