The Saint B is an MP3 player concept out of Russia. The unit hangs around your neck where OLED beauty glistens through a flexible black plastic cover. The player charges/syncs via USB. But what we like most about the Saint B is the sinful bang for your buck:
Sin 1: Bastardization/misuse of the cross
Sin 2: Cross is jet black (the color of sin, along with red and hot pink)
Sin 3: The Mariah Carey album you still listen to on it
Plus, the Saint B is completely protected from those pesky vampire muggers who like the iPod so much.

...but perfect for protecting yourself against Vampires.
The display says it's playing Madonna's 'The power of good buy'
Okay, lets see... which way to go....
How about:
Does listening to this count as church?
or maybe:
WWJP: What would Jesus podcast?
should be playing "Like A Prayer" by Madonna.... mmmmm sacralicous
what about AC/DC's, Highway to Hell? or Weird Al's Like a Virgin?
Do you mean: Sacrilege?
It'd better play OGG and FLAC; the Lord abhorreth DRM.
Saeder, Weird Al did "Like a Surgeon" and
Geirskogul, Sacrilicious is a Simpsons reference in which Homer prays to a ceiling waffle.
the headphone port coming out of the armpit of the cross seems a little ungainly, but oherwise this thing actually looks pretty cool... I wonder if there's any intention of actual production?
omfg, i can replace my rosary cross with this! score!!!
if they stick a retractable usb at the end, itd be pretty sweet.
Sacrilege, Shmacrilege. I want 1. (Also, its not wide enough to put a usb connector on)
I know I shouldn't eat thee...
I'd totally buy this. Is it out to the public or is it just a concept?
While I am a practicing Catholic, I make no claims piety.
That said, there is no other faith who's scared symbols can be treated with such disregard and scorn.
Go on, name it the iGod!
I would SO buy one except I know it would totally burn my flesh if I touched it. And I know it's from a different episode, but I would like to add my favorite religiously oriented Homer quote: "Save me, Jeebus!"
what if i want to wear it with the cross being upside-down?
If only it had a little silver too, then it could keep the wherewolves at bay.
Jeebus, i perfer calling him Jeevus, but burning my flesh is one thing it won't do, now a church, that might make me burt into flames, but as for this, i'll put the most unholy bands such as, ICP, Kid Rock (original), System of a Down, and many more, i'll be sure to make the old holy woman walking to the store faint when she finds out that i have "The game show" by ICP on my "IGOD" as DrD put it. But seriously, if this was really planned for production i would buy one and probaly be struck down by god for my sinnful ways, but hey, what do i care, i just want the thing to make old holy ladies faint.
He was formatted for your sins: design ideas
Mini usb jack
Laser-etched back design
Locking 1/8 inch jack on top
Crown of thorns themed headphones
Holy startup sound
"You are forgiven." sound when you press: up,down, left, right.
I would buy it now, even if it only holds 777MB.
I think it's a good idea.
@homerjay: rough morning, hadn't had my coffee yet ah well
and how bout Ned as the devil?
Ohhhhh these will sell. Every Christian music/bookstore in the world will want to stock them.
I also wouldn't be surprised to see Ozzy sporting one in place of that big silver crucifix he ususally wears.
"iGod"
that was funny.
i aint got nutin to do wit it GOD , spare my life and that of my IPOD !!
Shipped with preloded prays??? ;)
They sell it with preloded prays?
iGod :) good one
am i the only one who thinks the display is up side down...?
Actually, krystians, I think you're supposed to wear the cross upside down so you can see the screen. yeah, that makes sense... :)
The one things that kinda bums me out about this thing is that it has a headphone jack. If it's designed to be worn around your neck, why not replace the neckstrap with headphone cables and then break 'em out where they'd be close to a person's ears? Would make it a lot more subtle, and a lot more interesting. Lazy industrial designers with a wicked good idea. Shame, IMO. Gorgeous though, and I still want one.
i didn't mean that...
i am used to players with controls on the left side from the screen or screen above the controls...
this looks... wrong (TO ME!) :)
maybe it's for left handed...
maybe it's just because i used only few ;]
"Jesus, Allah, Buddah, I love you all!!"

It'd better play OGG and FLAC; the Lord abhorreth DRM.
What does MP3 have to do with DRM? All of the DRM-controlled "MP3s" are MP4s (iTMS, etc), and I have thousands of MP3s that are NOT DRM'd in any way.
You know, if they could squeeze a pen into this they might have something...
Well, technically MP3 is not an open format - to make a player or encoder that uses MP3 requires the permission of Thomson, which owns the rights to the standard. But yes, I suppose it's not a digital standard that easily allows for the limitations of rights like other formats.
Lighten up, it was a joke!
BLING!
Somehow I'd feel really dirty for loading Chamillonaire and Snoop Dogg on it.
Load it exclusively with Black Sabbath and see if it explodes.
Im getting one of these and hanging it upside donw.
Old idea. This came out a year ago:

(Read the copy carefully...the concept is meant to mock the iPod culture. Perfect for listening to GodCasts, too!)
Great. The perfect gift for your local priest to give to his favorite altar boy Especially ones that have been very good at keeping secrets.
