most of them charge through usb.. thats how the ipods charge..... the computer provides power to the usb port and charges the mp3 player.... thats pretty dumb though.. talk about looking for trouble.... wonder what their marketing campaign is gonna be?

I'm in the same boat as you CC. Are you guys referring to the MP3 player's name - BLAXX?

Someone please explain it to us both so that we can have the same level of indignation that you all seem to be enjoying. :chuckle

lol, I don't think that was intended, but its a little funny. It makes it more racist because the webpage designer desided to but an african american woman beside the product!
